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.

Senior Respite Care in Sierra Madre

 It's painful to see a senior you love experience a chronic illness. Diseases like cancer or alzheimer are slow to develop and highly emotional. When you're a family caregiver who is with your ill parents or spouse day in and day out, you tend to internalize the struggle of your senior loved one which can develop into caregiver stress or burnout. A-1 Home Care highly recommends hiring a Sierra Madre Senior Caregiver to provide respite care.

A-1 Home Care hires and screens experienced, good natured Senior Caregivers who are skilled with caring for elderly people with chronic or terminal illnesses. Our caregivers emphasize a positive attitude and environment to keep an aura of healthy cleanliness. We can take care of chores like cooking, laundry, bed making, bathroom assistance and more.

A-1 Home Care is an A+ rated nonmedical home health agency with over 20 years of experience in caregiving. We provide respite care assistance for seniors in Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Altadena, La Crescenta, Alhambra, Rosemead, Arcadia, El Monte and Monterey Park.

Alzheimer & Dementia Care Services

A-1 Domestic provides Alzheimer's and Dementia in-home care services in Sierra Madre and other cities in Los Angeles County. 

We sympathize with you, your Elderly loved one with Alzheimer's, and all of your affected family.  It can be a very difficult time because of the continuing loss of memory your loved one experiences.  Communication becomes harder and often repetitive as shown in this emotional video on CBS News about a woman who was a former reporter that was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was 55, yet began symptoms at age 40. 

At A-1 Domestic, we offer caregivers, nurse aides, and companions who have experience providing 24 hour live-in care or hourly part-time care for individuals with Alzheimer's or Dementia.  We can assist with daily activities such as exercise, healthy meal preparation, personal hygiene & grooming, transportation, and stimulating activities such as board games, reading, arts & crafts, using the computer, and more.

We have been in business since 1991 with an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau and Shield Accreditation.  Our services span the communities of Sierra Madre, Pasadena, Arcadia, Alhambra, Altadena, La Crescenta, La Canada, San Gabriel, Rosemead, El Monte, Monterey Park, and others in Los Angeles County.
