In-Home Care Services for Seniors with Chronic Illnesses

Serving the East Bay Area: Dublin, San Ramon, Livermore, Pleasanton, Tracy, CA

Chronic illnesses can significantly impact one’s physical and mental capabilities and make it challenging to function from day to day. Some illnesses require rigorous management and monitoring, such as diabetes, and others like heart disease can be life-threatening. People with chronic illnesses may have mobility challenges, making it difficult to perform self-care tasks such as bathing, oral care, or toileting. Lack of personal care affects health and self-esteem. Safety is also a concern; there is an increased risk of falls and other accidents. ComForCare of Tri-Valley provides personalized, compassionate in-home care for people who have chronic illnesses.

Q: How is your approach customized for each individual?

A: We understand how each health condition can impede self-care and we customize our approach accordingly. For example, for those with diabetes, we provide a thorough skin check during personal hygiene activities and provide verbal reminders on the correct method for foot inspection for ulcer prevention.
