    Chronic illness is common in older adults and involves supporting self-care and maintaining function to prevent further disability. As people age, they are more likely to have multiple chronic conditions that require coordinated care over time. Nurses can help promote healthy aging for older adults with chronic illness through prevention, managing symptoms along the illness trajectory, and optimizing function despite disease progression or limitations.
