Diabetes Care in Corona

There can be health concerns that come naturally because of aging. But if you have diabetes, the things you take for granted every day can end up being challenging. Meal planning revolves around making sure your diet is diabetic-friendly and you avoid diabetes-related weight gain. Keeping fit and active is even more important, too. And, of course, you always have to make time for testing your blood glucose levels.

What often makes this even harder is when people are diagnosed with diabetes late in life. By this time, their day-to-day schedule has become so ingrained that it’s a nearly impossible routine to break.

Fortunately, Right at Home of Corona’s caregivers can be a powerful ally in helping you or your loved one stay on top of your diabetes symptoms, including positive reinforcement and daily reminders for ongoing management.

What Is Diabetes?

In a healthy person’s body, the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which regulates the absorption of sugars. Whenever they eat something that contains sugar, insulin helps them maintain a normal level of blood sugar. Diabetes develops when a person’s body becomes resistant to insulin, or their pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to properly manage the amount of sugar in their blood. That means people with diabetes have to learn to do other things to regulate their blood sugar. Without that management, they’re at risk of serious complications like heart and circulatory diseases, and damage to the eyes and kidneys. Diabetics must take steps every day to manage the disease to lower their risk of health complications

How Can Right at Home of Corona Help?

Instead of trying to fit diabetes into a pre-built care plan, we’ve worked with countless adults with diabetes to develop a personalized care plan taking into account their overall health and diabetic needs and limitations at every step. This includes:

"Harpreet and her team of care givers are amazing! They are professional, compassionate, clearly experienced, and easy to contact with questions and changes. As my mother-in-law's health has declined shockingly fast and referred to hospice care at home, Harpreet has been available and hands on in helping us get even more help set up. We gave her a request to change from 3 times/week care to 24/7 care on a Saturday evening, which she was able to handle smoothly within a few hours. Additionally Harpreet offers expert guidance around care giving as you transition into palliative and/or hospice care, which can be an overwhelming and confusing time. I highly recommend Harpreet and her team as they will care for your loved ones as their own. "

"Right at Home services are unbelievable. I would call it a second life for my elderly father. Their caregiver team is much beyond a companion. They motivated him to schedule his future doctor appointments and accompany him to these appointments where years back he had stopped seeing his doctors. When I last visited him, I could call his house a home where things were all set up the right way compared to where he had lost interest in living a healthy life. I am so thankful to see him on a consistent schedule. Harpreet and the caregivers have been on top to make sure supplies and other stuff that was needed so that it could be delivered in a timely manner. Thanks for the great efforts. It's making a big difference in the lives of people. "

"This home care is truly EXCELLENT! I was bombarded by countless companies wanting to serve our needs for our father but I decided on "Right at Home". Harpreet, who supervises the care and facilitates the transition and communication, is very patient, intelligent and flexible. The company is very lucky to have her! She made it very easy to talk to about our aging father. She was even available to discuss options and times etc way after work hours. The caretaker, Sonia, was terrific. My father isn't easy and can be quite bossy and I saw that Sonia was kind but firm which was perfect. I was impressed with how easy it was set up home care. We are going to continue to use Right at Home for our father!"
