Chronic and Progressive Condition Care

SHICS Health Care Solutions provides personalized support for individuals recovering from a stroke or living with Parkinson's disease, ALS, and other chronic or progressive conditions.

A complex diagnosis may change how everyday activities are accomplished, but it does not diminish a person's goals, interests, relationships, or desire for independence. Our experienced nurses and caregivers focus on helping each client live as safely, comfortably, and meaningfully as possible.

Care is personalized according to the client's diagnosis, abilities, preferences, home environment, and stage of illness. As needs change, SHICS collaborates with physicians, therapists, specialists, and family members to support continuity and reinforce the established plan of care.
