Chronic Disease Care

Throughout the United States, there are millions of people who struggle with managing the daily challenges of a chronic disease. For seniors living with a chronic condition, even the simplest things in life can seem more difficult. Senior Helpers of Fairfield believes that a diagnosis should not mean the end of your loved one’s independence and freedom.

We work with families throughout our community to help create and implement a comprehensive at-home plan for managing a variety of chronic diseases and conditions. Depending on your loved one’s needs, we can provide assistance with daily living activities, exercise routines, medication management, meal preparation, and much more.
