How Santa Clara County In-Home Care Improves Life for Kidney Disease Patients

Santa Clara home care

Santa Clara home careFor seniors who prefer to remain at home as they age – and, who doesn’t? – in-home care serves as a lifeline, providing assistance with activities that become difficult with aging and allowing for comfort, security and independence. But what happens when a senior struggles with a chronic disease, such as kidney disease?

Not only is home care for seniors possible for those with kidney disease, but it’s preferred. Consider some of these ways that a professional in-home caregiving team, such as Visiting Angels provides, can assist those at risk for or diagnosed with kidney disease:

  • Providing education on kidney disease management. Caregivers work closely with the client’s doctor to ensure the client is well-versed on his or her condition and how to manage it.
  • Assisting with medication reminders. Adhering to a medication plan is vital for optimal health. In-home caregivers can provide reminders so that each medication is taken in the right amount at the right time.
  • Providing reminders and an escort for doctors’ appointments.
  • Helping clients avoid hospital readmissions by recognizing and reporting the first signs of complications, and helping the clients seek immediate treatment.
  • Preparing healthy, nutritious and diet-specific meals. Caregivers work with physicians and nutritionists to ensure meals meet the specific requirements for each client’s condition.
