Cachexia is a serious condition linked to chronic illness that causes ongoing muscle loss and unintentional weight loss. It is more than simply eating less. Signs often include severe weakness, loss of appetite, and visible muscle wasting. Because it develops gradually, families may not notice how quickly strength is declining.
Early monitoring of weight trends, nutrition, and muscle changes can help improve quality of life and reduce complications at home.
📞 HomeAssist nurses can monitor weight changes, support nutrition plans, and help manage chronic illness safely at home.
