Quality in-home care is hard to find, especially for the elderly. Visiting Angels of Tom's River serves Ocean and Southern Monmouth Counties with customized in home care for seniors, specifically designed for those suffering from arthritis.

Arthritis is one of the most misunderstood diseases worldwide. While over 50 million Americans suffer from arthritis, it is still often thought of as only aches and pains related to aging. According the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. It is estimated that by 2030, more than 65 million Americans will have been diagnosed with arthritis.

One of the best remedies for managing your arthritis pain is to remain active. While many falsely believe that exercise should be avoided for people with arthritis, the medical professionals and care professionals at this senior care center have found this to be untrue. Exercise is extremely helpful for those with arthritis, particularly low impact exercises, like tai chi, water aerobics and walking. These low impact exercises help to manage pain and prevent joint stiffness.

An arthritis diagnosis does not have to mean a limited future,” says Larry Meigs, President and CEO of Visiting Angels. “Making the right decisions about exercise, diet and healthy living can help you to live an active and independent life. Those with advanced stages of arthritis who need assistance navigating their daily activities can seek the help of in home care professionals.”

Living with arthritis may be challenging but by making the conscious decision to manage your arthritis symptoms will allow you to enjoy all your favorite activities. Call Tom’s River Visiting Angels to learn more about respite care and call (800) 365-418 to connect with these home care services.
