We understand that life can be very challenging for seniors that are suffering from various illnesses. Certain conditions can require a lot of maintenance, monitoring, and work and may include constant care including supervision for those middle of the night wakings. Proper care requires attention to the fine details including tasks such as making sure that the right medicines are taken in the right doses at the right time and services as simple as scheduling and getting transportation to regular doctor appointments.

For seniors that have diabetes, ensuring that insulin injections are given at the right time is critical. This is something that many seniors may have a hard time remembering. When it comes to maintaining the appropriate levels of insulin, taking a dose too late, or forgetting to take one altogether can cause some serious problems. When we provide elder care services we make sure to appropriately monitor the blood sugar of our clients and that all of the doctor’s orders are followed to ensure blood sugar and insulin levels are healthy.
