In-Home Support for Chronic Diseases in Philadelphia

Stop Managing Your Condition Alone

The daily grind of managing a chronic illness is exhausting. Does this sound familiar?

You’re constantly worried that your dad in Northeast Philly is forgetting to check his blood sugar or isn’t eating properly for his diabetes.
You’re terrified a COPD flare-up or CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) complication will lead to another frightening, multi-day stay at the hospital.
You’re overwhelmed trying to cook low-sodium meals, manage fluid restrictions, and track daily weight changes for CHF.
You feel ‘tethered’ to your home, unable to live your life freely because of the complex medication and diet schedule.

Living with COPD, CHF, or Diabetes is a 24/7 job. You’re exhausted from managing it alone. Our trained caregivers provide the reliable, daily chronic disease home care you need to manage symptoms, prevent re-hospitalization, and live independently in your Philadelphia home.

What is Chronic Disease Support?

This is not skilled nursing. This is your proactive management partner. Our caregivers are trained to support your doctor’s plan, helping you with the crucial daily tasks that prevent serious complications.

Our Chronic Disease Support services in Philadelphia include:

Strict medication and fluid reminders
Specialized meal planning and preparation (e.g., low-sodium for CHF, diabetic-friendly)
Assistance with monitoring vitals (blood pressure, blood sugar, weight)
Helping with Personal Care (bathing, dressing), especially on ‘bad days’
Assistance with Mobility and therapist-prescribed exercises (like for COPD)
Transportation to regular check-ups at Penn Medicine, Jefferson, or other Philly specialists
Being a watchful eye to spot and report early warning signs before they become emergencies

FAQs About Chronic Disease Support in Philadelphia

How is this different from a ‘visiting nurse’ (VNA)?

A VNA (Visiting Nurse Association) provides skilled medical care, like wound dressing or injections, during short visits. We provide the non-medical support that’s essential for the other 23 hours a day: managing the diet, providing medication reminders, helping with mobility, and monitoring for warning signs.

What specific training do your caregivers have for Diabetes, COPD, or CHF?

Our caregivers are trained by nurses on the specific daily needs of these conditions. For Diabetes, they’re trained in meal prep and monitoring. For CHF, they’re trained in low-sodium cooking and watching for edema. For COPD, they’re trained in helping with breathing exercises and personal care to conserve energy.

Can your caregiver prepare special low-sodium or diabetic-friendly meals?

Yes, absolutely. This is a core part of our service. Our caregivers are trained to shop for and prepare delicious meals that strictly follow your doctor’s dietary recommendations.

How do you help prevent re-hospitalization?

We are your “eyes and ears.” By assisting with daily vital monitoring (like weight for CHF or blood sugar for Diabetes) and providing strict medication reminders, we help manage the condition proactively. We can spot early warning signs (like sudden weight gain) and report them before they become an emergency.

Can this long-term daily support be 100% covered by the Medicaid waiver?

Yes. For those who qualify for the Pennsylvania Medicaid waiver (Community HealthChoices), our “hands-on” personal care and chronic disease support services are typically 100% covered, allowing for consistent, long-term care at no cost to you.
