Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, whose most common cause is a viral infection. There are numerous types of hepatitis, ranging from hepatitis A to E. Some of these can be acute, where they flare up suddenly and go back after some time, or they might become a chronic condition that lasts a long time.
Common Challenges
Hepatitis, regardless of its type, takes a significant toll on the body. Annie’s Place understands how difficult it is to navigate any type of hepatitis alone. Therefore we provide custom health care to provide you with the best home health care you need to help you in the following challenges:
Fatigue
The state of constant tiredness is a common symptom faced by most hepatitis patients. This feeling of not having sufficient energy can affect your day-to-day activities. Simple tasks such as going to the bathroom yourself or around the house become very challenging. On top of it all, going to doctor’s appointments in these conditions unaccompanied seems close to impossible.
To help you with everyday tasks, we can provide special live-in care, where our professional care aide stays with you the entire day. They can help you with tasks such as taking a bath, moving around the house and accompanying you to your doctor’s appointments.
Nausea and Vomiting
Feeling nauseous and having the urge to throw up even though you have not eaten a lot is common for Hepatitis patients. Besides, a loss of appetite can occur too. That is why it is recommended that small meals are taken throughout the day instead of forcing big meals on yourself, also ensuring that sufficient calories are consumed.
Resting up and having a proper diet are helpful to boost your energy levels so that you can regain your health. To save you from the worry of planning nutritious and healthy meals for yourself, we provide the service of preparing nutritional meals for you.
Emotional Support
Emotional support is an overlooked yet a vital need during any disease. According to the study shared by Healthline, one-third of people with hepatitis C also have depression. Constantly feeling overwhelmed or anxious when sick is also common, and sometimes you need the emotional support of a friend or a loved one to help you fight your ongoing condition.
Our team provides excellent companionship programs for you. We understand the significance of having someone to support you through thick and thin, and we are here to help you in any way possible.
If you or your loved ones are experiencing hepatitis and need any assistance, Annie’s Place would love to assist you in any care you might need. Our experienced Care Aides will cater to your individual needs to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve without any worry. We are only one call away!
