Senior In-Home Care for Kidney Disease

When people are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, their first questions often involve quality of life and treatment options. What people don’t know is that life with kidney disease/ tumor/ cancer is very livable. With the right homecare and healthy habits, the progression of chronic kidney disease can be slowed immensely.

The symptoms of kidney failure occur innocently, with subtle signs such as slight differences in the color of urine or tendency to feel cold. A-1 Home Care Agency provides a comprehensive list of symptoms for elders who are experiencing the beginnings of kidney troubles:
