This document discusses how training home health aides on chronic disease care can help grow a home care agency's business. Chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease are major causes of disability and death in the US. While common, these diseases are manageable with proper care at home. However, many home care agencies lack training on caring for specific chronic conditions. By implementing a training program to educate aides on the unique needs of different chronic diseases, an agency can improve client care, reduce hospitalizations, and expand its client reach, helping the business to grow.

How aide training for chronic disease care grows your agency
1. How
Aide
Training
for
Chronic
Disease
Care
Grows
Your
Agency
Chronic
diseases,
such
as
cancer,
diabetes,
and
heart
disease,
are
the
leading
causes
of
disability
in
the
United
States.
The
majority
of
hospitalizations
are
due
to
chronic
conditions
that
are
ill
managed,
and
deaths
among
chronic
disease
sufferers
are
alarmingly
high.
While
common,
chronic
diseases
are
manageable
with
the
right
amount
of
care.
And
the
number
of
hospitalizations
of
these
types
of
patients
could
be
significantly
reduced
with
adequate
home
care
services.
Understanding
the
Demand
The
number
of
Americans
diagnosed
with
chronic
diseases
is
increasing.
According
to
the
CDC,
the
most
common
chronic
conditions
include:
• High
blood
pressure
• Alzheimer’s
• Heart
disease
• Depression
• Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Diabetes
• COPD
• Cancer
• Stroke
2.
Each
of
these
chronic
diseases
has
its
own
set
of
care
requirements,
risks,
and
considerations.
While
pain
management
and
treatment
are
used
for
people
with
cancer,
patients
with
high
blood
pressure
may
require
specific
medication
and
lifestyle
changes.
Unfortunately,
many
home
care
agencies
lack
the
complex
training
needed
to
care
for
these
chronic
diseases.
This
means
clients
who
suffer
from
them
receive
inadequate
care
or
must
find
an
agency
that
can
provide
specialized
care
for
their
type
of
chronic
condition.
How
Your
Agency
Can
Help
With
the
right
training,
your
home
health
aides
can
provide
the
care
and
exceptional
support
a
client
needs
while
allowing
them
to
remain
at
home.
And
with
proper
care
training,
home
health
aides
can
reduce
the
number
of
hospitalizations
your
clients
see
each
year—decreasing
their
medical
costs,
pain,
and
suffering.
By
understanding
the
specific
challenges
your
clients
face,
based
on
their
chronic
condition,
your
agency
can
ensure
each
client
has
the
best
possible
chance
at
independence
and
a
better
quality
of
life.
As
a
home
care
agency
that
takes
on
the
goal
of
keeping
clients
healthy
at
home,
you’re
positioned
to
bridge
the
gap
in
necessary
care
to
deliver
the
management
of
those
chronic
conditions
your
clients
need.
Your
aides
can
be
the
eyes
and
ears
of
overseeing
physicians,
help
with
care
coordination,
and
promote
self-‐management
at
home.
The
bottom
line?
Your
home
care
agency
will
be
able
to
grow
and
expand
your
client
reach
by
offering
such
specialized
care
services.
Implementing
Training
In
order
to
bridge
that
gap
and
effectively
grow
your
agency,
you
need
to
implement
a
training
program
that
addresses
the
unique
care
requirements
of
these
chronic
conditions.
Your
aides
must
know
how
to
care
for
clients
with
chronic
diseases,
and
understand
the
special
care
clients
need
based
on
their
type
of
disease.
