Some diseases, like diabetes, require special care and constant patient health monitoring. It is better to rely on professional caregivers and nurses who make life easier for people with such conditions.
Diabetes is one of the most common health problems in the world, especially in older people. Even worse, the number of individuals diagnosed with this condition continues to grow each year. Lifestyle choices such as sedentary jobs, unhealthy diets, smoking, and other factors contribute to the problem.
According to the more recent statistics provided by the American Diabetes Association, around 11.3% of people in the United States have been diagnosed with some form of diabetes. The largest number of people with this condition are elderly adults, but the situation also becomes more prevalent in younger people.

Galaxy Home Care is a life savior for our family. My mom suffered a devastating stroke in December rendering her handicapped and unable to live on her own. Navigating the Medicaid/Medicare maze became my full time job yielding very little results. If it wasn’t for the super knowledgeable, compassionate and overall professional Galaxy team, I still would have no dependable home care solution for my mom. They jumped through so many hoops and made everything work. Finally, somebody had my back! Thanks to Galaxy Home Care, they found a perfect home attendant for my mom, guided me through securing supplemental at-home services for her, and continue to provide lots of support and guidance as we move forward. Thank you, Galaxy Home Care!

The exact services depend on the diabetes type, its stage, and the patient’s individual needs. Those with progressed forms of diabetes require more extensive caregiving services. Others may only need meal planning and measuring of blood sugar levels.
Patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes rely on taking insulin as a medication. Also, insulin therapy can be an important part of managing type 2 and gestational diabetes when other types of treatment don’t provide the necessary results. It helps control blood sugar levels to prevent further health problems.
Checking blood glucose levels is vital in diabetes, but seniors can often struggle with this task. They may forget or not know how to do this properly. They also require careful medication control. For this reason, hiring caregivers can help prevent the development of complications caused by diabetes.
When left untreated, this disease can cause numerous health issues. This includes vision changes, heart disease, oral health issues, foot ulcers, nerve damage, kidney problems, and more. For this reason, getting an accurate diagnosis and managing diabetes is crucial.
compassionate, dedicated, helpful

It is with great pleasure that I write this review about Galaxy Homecare. Choosing homecare for yourself your loved one is not easy and can be quite emotional too. Everyone at Galaxy made my experience wonderful. Starting with Ben, what can I say, the best person to help you navigate during these trying times and Natalie, an absolute treasure to the company. Of course, everyone else at Galaxy as well. Their home care personnel are top notch!! I highly recommend Galaxy Home care for you or your loved one!! Thank you.

I can't say enough about the service Ben at Galaxy provided to ensure I had the best care possible for my 89 year old father who had dimentia and also took a fall recently. Ben took the time to really understand our needs as a family, given the challenging circumstances with his recent fall that immobilized my father to a degree. We were given the services of Kalu Odin whom for a month, who took care of my father like he was his own son, and I felt Kalu to be part of the family. He was absolutely attentive in every aspect and truly helped my father's recovery process. He loves what he does, and it shows with his empathy and his diligence with dad, who took a great liking to Kalu. Dad is doing much better, and I attribute that to Kalu ,Ben, and the Galaxy team!

Galaxy Home Care came into my life when my mother was sent home from a SNF in no shape to be left alone. Ben explained how the agency could help. We have met many kind, caring HHA's. If I ever need to use an agency again, I would definitely contact Galaxy Home Care.

Everyone is very helpful, especially Ben Kalika, who is always available or, if he is with another client, always calls you back immediately. And, the aide who worked with my mother, Guerlyne Jean Baptiste, is a wonderful, caring and compassionate person with great skills in working with elderly people. I could not have asked for more. Thank you.

When your close elderly family members are in need of daily assistance, often we are not prepared for all the red tape, financial and personal decisions that come with it. Galaxy has been caring, professional and very accommodating with all of our requests. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with them.
