In-Home Specialized Diabetes Care & Assistance
Diabetes in seniors is one of the most common chronic diseases facing both men and women as they age, with around 1/3 of people aged 65 and older believed to be affected by the condition.
Yet, for how common the disease is in seniors, the symptoms that your loved one experiences with diabetes could vary from one client to another.
Some clients may have relatively mild symptoms that need to be monitored more than treated. Others may have more severe symptoms from their condition that require regular treatments or medications to manage.
Whether you’re looking for around-the-clock nursing care for diabetes or some as-needed diabetic care solutions, Qualicare is here to give you the peace of mind that your loved one always has the support they need.
At-Home Diabetes Care Services
Extreme fatigue, dizziness, and potentially fainting are three of the most common symptoms of diabetes as they appear in seniors. This can lead to dangerous, or even life-threatening situations for seniors that don’t have mobility assistance and are living at home alone.
Nursing care of a diabetic patient requires more than just diabetes medication management programs, it takes a watchful eye and careful planning to avoid these types of situations from happening.
Qualicare strives to ensure that all of our clients remain healthy, comfortable, and safe as they continue to live at home. When we first meet with clients, our expert caregivers will create a personalized plan of action, which takes any in-home diabetes care services that are needed into account as well.
Once we know what type of diabetic care a nursing patient needs, our caregivers will work with you and the family to ensure your loved one’s health and wellness is protected, so they can have the best possible quality of life at home.
Benefits of In-Home Care for Diabetes
No one enjoys living in fear. Unfortunately, for those that are living alone with little to no support, diabetes can become a dark cloud that takes the joy and warmth out of their daily lives.
No longer able to eat the same things they used to enjoy, fearful of trips or falls due to fatigue or faintness, you don’t want your loved one to be left feeling like they’re in a constant state of distress. However, without diabetic assistance programs, you may not have the skills you need to provide adequate at-home support.
Thankfully, you don’t have to worry anymore, because Qualicare is here to help.
Our compassionate caregivers can provide home care for diabetes 24/7, so you don’t have to carry that burden alone anymore. Between our diabetes medication management programs, and diabetic care solutions, our team can provide the 360-degree support care your loved one needs – no matter how mild or severe their condition has become.
Step back and take a breath for yourself. Get back to enjoying the time you get to spend with your loved one, instead of spending all your time together focusing on diabetes care management.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Where Can Qualicare Clients Access In-Home Diabetes Care Services?
Our caregivers can provide home care assistance for diabetes for clients living at home, in nursing facilities, hospitals, or within retirement communities.
What if a Client Requires Insulin Injections as Part of Their Diabetes Care & Management Plan?
Not all Qualicare caregivers have nursing certifications, and so when a client requires this type of specialized care, our team will work with the family to ensure that clients always have the diabetes assistance they need to manage their condition.
In some cases, this may require regular medical appointment assistance, which our caregivers may be able to assist with, in lieu of at-home insulin injections.
Can Clients Continue to Eat & Drink Whatever They Want if They’re Receiving Nursing Care for Diabetes?
As we discussed before, diabetes in seniors can manifest as both mild or severe, and any range in between. It may be mild most of the time, with days of severe symptoms – or vice versa.
When we arrange diabetic assistance programs for our clients, we know their condition needs to be monitored regularly and frequently, in order to prevent avoidable increases in symptom severity.
Our compassionate caregivers will work with clients to create meal/snack plans that take their diabetic needs into account, so they can still enjoy the foods they eat, without running the risk of worsening their condition.
What if a Client Has Increased Toileting Needs Due to Their Condition?
Our in-home diabetes care services include assisting with things like mobility around their home, grooming, and toileting.
If a client requires additional bathroom breaks throughout the day, because they’re drinking more fluids and urinating more frequently (a symptom of diabetes), our helpful caregivers will be glad to facilitate that in a way that ensures their comfort and safety.
