Arthritis Solutions
According to the Centers for Disease Control, millions of American adults are affected by inflammation of their joints. In fact, more people are disabled by arthritis than any other cause. Osteoarthritis generally comes from ordinary wear and tear on one or more joints, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder.
It can be difficult to cope with arthritis. Gradually increasing joint pain and stiffness are the most frequent symptoms of arthritis, and they often make simple aspects of everyday life into a struggle. Whenever ordinary activities like eating, grooming and housekeeping are hampered by stiffness and pain, the result can be long-term problems in areas such as nutrition, personal hygiene and general safety. The assistance of a skilled caregiver can help people with arthritis maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Stay at Home Senior Care’s skilled, screened and compassionate caregivers provide help at home with activities made more challenging by arthritis. Assistance with meal preparation ensures that stiffness and pain does not lead to skipped meals, malnutrition and reduced energy. Light housekeeping support helps maintain a clean, safe and comfortable home environment. Sometimes even a little assistance with grooming can make a big difference in self-esteem and quality of life.
