Adult Care refers to the provision of health and personal support services for adults, including assistance with medical needs, daily living activities, and overall well-being.

Chronic diseases refer to long-term or persistent medical conditions that require ongoing management and treatment. Managing chronic diseases often requires a specialized skill set, including the ability to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor symptoms, and provide ongoing support to patients.

Effective chronic disease management can lead to improved quality of life, reduced healthcare costs, and better patient outcomes.
