Chronic Illness or Pain Management
Overview:
Living with chronic illness or persistent pain can be exhausting. From managing medications to coping with fatigue, mobility issues, or emotional stress, having reliable support can make all the difference. At Heartfelt Health Ltd., our Personal Support Workers specialize in helping individuals manage long-term health conditions in the comfort and familiarity of home.
We provide chronic illness and pain management support across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), designed to reduce hospital visits, enhance quality of life, and bring peace of mind to both clients and their families. Our PSWs offer consistent, long-term support to improve quality of life.
​
Our care is centered on practical help, emotional encouragement, and maintaining dignity, even when health conditions become more complex. Each care plan is tailored to the individual’s specific diagnosis, symptoms, and personal preferences. This includes:
1. Medication Reminders and Monitoring
Our PSWs help keep track of complex medication schedules, ensuring clients take the right dose at the right time. They also monitor for side effects or changes in condition and report to family members or care teams as needed.
2. Pain and Symptom Support
While PSWs do not administer clinical pain treatment, they provide supportive care that reduces discomfort. This may include applying heat packs, assisting with repositioning, helping with gentle movement, or guiding clients through breathing and relaxation techniques.
​
3. Help with Daily Activities
Chronic pain and illness can make everyday tasks exhausting. Our PSWs provide hands-on assistance with dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, and light housekeeping, always with sensitivity and respect.
4. Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support
Many chronic illnesses require careful dietary management. Our team prepares meals that align with dietary restrictions and supports clients who struggle with appetite or nausea.
5. Transportation and Errands
When leaving the home is difficult, our PSWs assist with errands like picking up prescriptions, groceries, or accompanying clients to medical appointments.
6. Emotional and Social Support
Isolation is common for those living with long-term conditions. Our PSWs are more than helpers, they are trusted companions who build relationships, listen, and offer reassurance.
