Chronic Care Plans
What is a chronic care plan?
Chronic care is ongoing, supportive care for those with long-term health conditions.
A chronic care plan is designed to adapt to your way of life and your needs. Our superb carers can offer excellent condition-led care which can help with anything from cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s and more. We’ll get to know your chronic condition so we can work out a care plan which is right for you, helping you to continue living in the home you love most. Our carers can help improve your quality of life by offering nursing care, including medication administration, keeping up to date with your GP and hospital appointments, and other complex care.
Why should I have a care plan?
Care plans can help to maintain a good quality of life while living with a chronic condition.
Chronic care refers to medical care which addresses pre-existing or long-term illness. Therefore, a care plan from Helping Hands can provide attentive care for as long as you need. Alongside the care we provide for any complex needs you may have, our carers are also wonderful companions. They will help you to format a healthy daily routine that includes a social life, exercise, healthy eating and time spent on your hobbies. We can provide general housekeeping so the home you love is always spik and span.
