Hospice Care Available for Seniors and the Terminally Ill

Some people are unsure of what the term "hospice" means. To put someone in hospice means to put someone under care designed for those who are terminally ill or for those who are very near passing. The reason that hospice was created was to give the elderly and the terminally ill a dignified death, with as little pain as is possible. It makes passing that much easier for both the patient and their families.

Under our Hospice program, A-1 Home Care can not only provide for your loved one a comfortable journey to the other side, but in the comfort of their very own instead of some  strange  facility. Our caregivers are trained with 2 years of experience to administer all facets of care including Senior Care, Companion Care and more!

Heart Healthy Tips/ A-1 Home Care Sierra Madre

 

February is the month of romance, Valentines Day, and the introduction of spring. But it is also a month for Heart Health Awareness. Health is very important to us at A-1 Home Care, so we will be focusing on this today.

 

For heart healthy seniors, lots of attention should be paid to eating habits. Heart disease and heart attacks are results of unhealthy lifestyles. We encourage seniors to ask their caregivers to provide clean meals that follow the guidelines below.

 

You should eat mainly:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Grains like whole-grain barley, buckwheat, bulgur, millet, quinoa, and sorghum
• Fat-free or low-fat versions of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other milk products
• Fish, skinless poultry, lean meats, dry beans, eggs, and nuts

 

Also, you should limit the amount of foods you eat that contain:

• Saturated fat
• Trans fat
• Cholesterol
• Sodium
• Added sugars

A-1 Home Care provides services in Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, La Crescenta, Alhambra, Rosemead, Arcadia, El Monte and Monterey Park.
