If you or a loved one is living with arthritis, day to day tasks might feel more difficult than usual. Our friendly carers are here to help, so you can continue living the life you love.
Living with arthritis can be frustrating. You might feel that you are able to manage most of the time, but find that certain tasks present a new challenge, such as opening a tin to cook dinner, or lifting the vacuum cleaner out the cupboard.
At Greenwood Homecare, we believe that care should empower individuals to live as independently as possible, and we are here to support you to do just that. Whatever the support you need, big or small, our carers are on hand to make sure you don’t have to compromise on living the life you want.
There are many different types and stages of arthritis, so our arthritis care plans are tailored uniquely to the individual. We will work with you to put together a care plan to meet your specific needs. This might include:
Our carers are passionate about supporting clients to be in their best health. We know that certain lifestyle changes can help people with arthritis to manage symptoms and stay feeling healthier for longer. Whether you’re looking to eat a more balanced diet, or do some gentle exercise to reduce pain and improve mobility, our carers are here to support you. We will be by your side to help you work towards your goals, whatever they may be.

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, inflammation and stiffness in a joint. The most common types of arthritis are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Osteoarthritis impacts the cartilage of a joint; Rheumatoid arthritis is when the immune system targets affected joints. Both conditions are more common in women. There is no cure for arthritis, but it can be slowed down with treatment.
The symptoms a person experiences will depend on the type of arthritis that they have. Common symptoms include joint pain, tenderness and stiffness; inflammation and swelling around the joints; and muscle weakness.
You may feel that your condition is not severe enough to require home care, or that you “should” be able to manage on your own. Home care is not about giving up your personal effort or responsibility, but supporting you to enjoy the best possible quality of life while managing arthritis. If you are finding some daily tasks a struggle, home care could be a great help to make day to day life easier.
