What Is Down Syndrome?
Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. People with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain medical conditions, such as congenital heart defects, respiratory and hearing problems, Alzheimer's disease, childhood leukemia, and thyroid conditions. However, many of these conditions are now treatable so most people with Down syndrome lead healthy lives. At Gentle Care Home Services, our nurses and caregivers offer personalized assistance for Down syndrome and other chronic conditions affecting medically fragile children. From helping with daily tasks and therapy programs to managing medical treatments at home, we ensure each child receives the care they need to live comfortably and safely. We work closely with families to create customized care plans that enhance independence and improve overall well-being.
