As family members age, they may need help managing chronic health conditions. Arthritis can make it hard to button clothes. Forgetfulness may cause your loved one to miss a medication like insulin for diabetes. Weight issues can cause safety concerns from common activities like getting in and out of the bathtub.​

In the Northern Milwaukee area, thousands of seniors live with a chronic health condition. For many of these conditions — like diabetes and heart disease — diet and exercise represent important therapies. And while you probably would love to devote time to cooking nutritious meals and going on walks with your elder family members, real life doesn’t always allow for that.
