Disabled Care
Disabled Care is a common support system for individuals living with conditions, such as Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, and Multiple Sclerosis; just to name a few. Studies have shown that individuals with disabilities are more likely that people without disabilities report poor overall health, less adequate health care, smoking, and physical inactivity. People with disabilities often are at great risk for health problems that can be prevented. These problems (also called Secondary Conditions) can include pain, mental health & depression, incontinence, fatigue, obesity, and a greater risk of certain illnesses. Professional caregivers blend in with your family while providing disabled care, companionship, and personal care to adults and children with disabilities. Care can be provided at home or in any personal setting, as well as for traveling needs. Disabilities can have a negative impact on the individual as it can stop them from engaging in daily activities that they otherwise would like to be involved with. It can mean that a disabled person may not move, think analytically, hear, see, read, behave, or look exactly the same way as how society deemed as an ordinary person should be.
