Your osteoarthritis questions answered, by our expert Carers in Camden

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis. When someone experiences osteoarthritis, the cartilage within their joints begins to break down causing the bones to change. Also known as ‘wear and tear’ arthritis, osteoarthritis is mainly felt in the hands, knees and hips.

People with osteoarthritis or another type of arthritis may experience a decreased range of mobility, as well as stiffness, swelling, pain and aching. The symptoms of osteoarthritis can range from mild and inconstant to experiencing pain every day.

Homecare for people living with arthritis helps many people to reclaim their independence. We'll help to define a tailored care plan that suits your specific symptoms.

Our CareGivers are available across Camden, Hampstead and Golders Green provide help with managing symptoms and pain, and support with daily tasks.

Contact your local office team in Camden to discuss specialist arthritis-focused care and the ways we can help.

We as a family felt she was in very safe hands with staff that really cared about her."

Can you live a normal life with osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects more than 10 million people in the UK and, although there is no cure for it, it does not necessarily progress over time. With the right care and support, you can keep your symptoms under control, ease pain and enjoy a good quality of life.

We recognise that a “normal life” looks different for everyone. That’s why our team of experienced osteoarthritis CareGivers in Camden will define a care plan that suits you and your needs.

Osteoarthritis care and management at home in Camden

There are several ways to manage and alleviate some of the symptoms of osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis. Alongside practical care and support from a Camden-based CareGiver, we recommend:

Healthy lifestyle

Healthy eating and maintaining an active lifestyle will help to keep your muscles strong and support your joints. Gaining or losing weight can have a dramatic impact on the pressure put on your joints, so it's important to maintain a steady, balanced diet when living with osteoarthritis.

Exercising regularly can also help to increase the range of motion in your joints and reduce pain. Our at-home CareGivers in Camden can help you to access recreational activities in the local area and to enjoy physical activity, ensuring that you stay as fit and healthy as you can.

Take a look at our Healthy Eating guide for more information.

Taking medicine

It’s important that you take prescribed medicine in order to manage joint pain and other symptoms of osteoarthritis. If you need extra pain relief, speak to your health care professional.

Over the counter pain relief can sometimes interfere with prescribed arthritis medication. That’s why our local CareGivers in Camden are trained to support Clients with regular medication maintenance.

Whether you need help keeping track of your pills, or need someone to collect a prescription from the pharmacy, our friendly team of osteoarthritis specialists can help.

Defining a clear osteoarthritis care plan

All of our Clients have a unique, personal and Client-focused care plan. Discussing the level of care you need with your CareGiver is a vital part of maintaining your independence. Members of our Camden office team will also be involved for extra reassurance.

Our CareGivers are there to help you with your needs, no matter how simple or difficult the task may seem. Our Camden-based CareGivers are competent in the use of mobility aids and equipment. They are also highly trained to help those who need physical assistance due to their particular type of arthritis. Above all, our Carers are there to help you with the things you need to get done. From household tasks to errands, personal care to a friendly chat, we’ll define a specialist care plan that suits your lifestyle.
