Nurse with Senior Woman at Home — St. Paul, Minnesota — Care Plus HHA
More than half of Americans is currently living with at least one chronic disease, the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease report states, while nearly a third of patients are managing two or more of these conditions.

Chronic illness is defined as conditions that last a year or more, require ongoing medical attention, and limit activities of daily living. These conditions include a broad array of physical illness, such as arthritis, asthma, respiratory illness, diabetes, and heart disease, among others. Our in-home chronic disease management includes:

Patient Education

Through Nurse Visits, we teach you how to recognize and assess changes in your symptoms. You learn how to monitor your health and when to call the doctor. During your initial assessment a nurse evaluates your health, reviews your medications and assesses your home for fall risks. The nurse also answers any questions you have and explains the schedule for your care.

Coordinate Care

A Case Manager works with therapists, Care Plus Nurses and other home care professionals to ensure you receive the right services at the right time. Your home care team always know what you need, and what you don’t.
