The word “chronic” means to continue for a long time or recur frequently. Chronic or long term conditions (LTCs) are unfortunately quite common in Aotearoa; according to Te Whatu Ora, as many as one in four New Zealanders live with multiple chronic conditions. The nature and causes of these can vary widely, but most will affect a person’s quality of life to some degree: they can pose mobility challenges, require long term pain management, or limit capabilities in some areas. Those with chronic conditions can be more susceptible to environmental hazards. In some cases they may require home support, whether it be temporary or long term.
Common long term conditions include:
Just as the nature of long term conditions can vary, so can the help required. From long term pain management to assistance with daily tasks, there are plenty of ways that chronic illness support can be given. Each case is unique; it’s important to find care that suits the individual.
The services we provide are varied, accounting for the diverse challenges that come with managing long term conditions. The following are just a few of the ways that we can provide assistance:
Medication management: Our carers can help to manage medication and provide pain management support.
Personal care: Professional, competent personal care makes a big difference. Our team can help with hygiene and toileting where chronic pain or conditions make it difficult to self-manage.
Home help: Chronic conditions and pain can make cooking, cleaning, dressing, and other everyday tasks much more challenging. Our carers are able to lend a hand with these.
Each care plan is different; every person we support is unique with their own set of needs and preferences. Get in touch and let’s talk about what we can do for you.
