Coordinated Home Care for Arthritis

Arthritis increases physical limitations, mobility and alters people's lifestyles. At Professional Healthcare at Home, we assist people who suffer from arthritis with their activities of daily living. Some of the activities include light housekeeping, transportation, meal preparation, bathing, dressing, and laundry. Our company has over 20 years of home care experience, focusing on the disabled and patients with arthritis. We understand that often times arthiritis leads to bone density problems, depression, and bone impairment, but our physical therapists focus on joint movements and range of motions as means of treatment. Other therapy include pacing activities, pain control activities, relaxation techniques, and home safety. The proper kind and amount of this therapy will vary depending upon the underlying cause and upon individual factors that your physician will discuss with you.

It is also important to get enough nourishment and hydration to strenghthen bone health. Many of the organizations below offer support groups, counseling and additional information on Arthritis.
