Chronic conditions are long-term illnesses that require ongoing management. Unfortunately, they tend to increase, both in severity and occurrence, as we age. These long-lasting illnesses can impact daily routines, independence, and quality of life.
However, with proper treatment, most conditions can be managed successfully with professional help. At Haven Health, we offer numerous treatment options for chronic conditions in Arizona, from skilled nursing to memory care.
Today, we’ll take a look at common chronic conditions for Arizona seniors, how they are treated, and how you can rely on Haven Health to support your family members in their old age, with or without chronic conditions.
The Most Common Chronic Conditions In Arizona Seniors
Among the most common chronic conditions in Arizona are issues with the heart, lungs, and bones. Some of the most common issues include:
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease wherein the body has trouble regulating sugar in the blood. It is especially common among older adults. If not managed properly, it can lead to serious complications. Luckily, diabetes can be managed with proper nutrition, consistent monitoring of blood sugar, and other holistic strategies.
Heart Disease
One of the deadliest conditions seniors around the globe face is heart disease. Heart disease is a group of afflictions affecting the heart that can limit mobility and make daily tasks more challenging. Constant monitoring of the specific condition, along with medication and other medical interventions, is often necessary.
Hypertension
In layman’s terms, hypertension is high blood pressure. It is dangerous because it puts people, especially the elderly, at an increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Medication can often help this condition considerably, but adjustments are usually needed.
Arthritis
While not often life-threatening, arthritis is a painful group of conditions that affect the joints. Over time, this condition may interfere with walking and manual manipulation, making the tasks of daily living more difficult.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
COPD is a group of two main conditions that affect the lungs, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It often develops from damage to the lungs from habits such as smoking. This condition makes breathing more difficult and often requires specialized care and monitoring.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones and is particularly prevalent in women. One of the most dangerous facets of this disease is that it often causes fractures, one of the leading reasons for hospitalization among seniors. Facilities, such as ours, are set up to help prevent falls, and our nutrition programs aim to strengthen bones.
Challenges Seniors Face With Chronic Conditions
Managing one chronic illness can be a challenge in itself but managing more than one can be nearly impossible without professional help. The unfortunate reality is that many seniors live with two or more conditions.
Managing these conditions can cause difficulties in juggling multiple medications, maintaining mobility and independence, completing the activities of daily living, and putting seniors at a greater risk for falls or hospitalization.
Without proper professional support, these challenges may feel overwhelming. That’s where Haven Health can step in and offer multiple levels of support.
