Osteoarthritis Care
Have you or any of your loved ones been diagnosed with arthritis or osteoarthritis? If so, you should know that, in most cases, people with osteoarthritis can lead full, active lives by properly managing the condition. In fact, osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent causes of physical disability among adults.
- More than 20 million people in the United States have the disease.
- By 2030, 20 percent of Americans—about 70 million people—will have passed their 65th birthday and will be at risk for osteoarthritis.
- More than half of the population age 65 or older would show x-ray evidence of osteoarthritis in at least one joint.
Simple, daily tasks can aggravate the condition and lead to frustration, weariness and depression. Right at Home has years of experience working with those suffering from osteoarthritis and has developed special elderly care services to help return some independence and comfort.
By alleviating some of the more tiring and mobility-oriented tasks, people with osteoarthritis can return to a fairly normal lifestyle. Right at Home’s caregivers provide these valuable elder care services including:
- Meal Preparation
- Light Housekeeping
- Errand Services
- Grocery Shopping
- Incidental Shopping
- Laundry & Linen Washing
- Clothes Shopping
- Recreational Activities
Osteoarthritis Information and Resources
- More than 22 million people in the U.S. and U.K. have some form of osteoarthritis.

"We recently hired Right at Home to provide daily care for our 96-year-old mother in Manhattan. The women who continue to care for her are lovely. Patient and very competent. My mother recently had surgery and the aids have been able to accompany me to her appointments to ensure they know what additional care is needed. RAH management has been very responsive to additional requirements and we've never been disappointed."

"Our relationship began when we called Gregg in desperate need of immediate 24/7/365 care for my mother. Gregg met with us the next day and was able to have a caregiver in her home within 48 hours. The caregivers selected were based on an in depth conversation regarding my mother's needs and it has been working out quite well. We are very appreciative for this relationship and look forward to working together for many years to come."

"Our family is extremely grateful to Right at Home for providing warm and professional aides to care for our parents. Between cooking, organizing and assisting our parents with in home chores, we're confident they can remain in their apartment for a few more years! The owner, Greg, and his office staff were able to identify our parents needs, and patiently deal with finding the appropriate aides. We agreed to write this recommendation after being asked, simply because it's given my entire family peace of mind!"

"I hired Right at Home in uptown Manhattan to supervise my 87 year old Mother who suffers from Dementia. The owner himself conducted a thorough evaluation and consultation, determining the appropriate needs for my mother's care. We ultimately chose two compassionate care givers who spend upwards of 12-16 hours daily with my Mom. It's been an incredibly east process and makes things much easier on me being I live in the outer boroughs. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!"
