Staying safe, healthy, and independent at home is important for people who have chronic illnesses, like kidney disease. However, the many aspects of disease management and the lifestyle changes necessary to keep kidneys as healthy as possible can be difficult to handle on one’s own. That's where home care can help!
A qualified home care agency such as Independence-4-Seniors in the Chicago area can develop unique in-home care plans that not only keep clients healthy and independent, but also help empower clients to enhance their kidney health and ensure
a vibrant quality of life at home.
In-home caregivers can assist those at risk or diagnosed with kidney disease by:
- 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 client 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.
