Chronic Illness

Chronic illness is characterized as a disease or condition that usually persists for three months or longer and may worsen over time. These conditions are more commonly seen in older adults and, although they can often be managed, they are generally not curable. The most common types of chronic diseases include cancer, heart disease, stroke, and arthritis.
