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!

For more information on our in home and live in services, call our office at 626 827 0250 or check us out at Sierra Madre In Home Care. 

Christmas traditions around the Words: Sweden/ A-1 Home Care wishes a Happy Christmas!

The Christmas season in Sweden begins with the Saint Lucia ceremony. Before dawn on the morning of December 13th, the youngest daughter from each family puts on a white robe with a red sash. She wears a crown of evergreens with tall-lighted candles attached to it. She wakes her parents, and serves them with coffee and Lucia buns. The other children accompany her. The boys dress in long white shirts and pointed hats.
 
This charming custom goes back to Lucia, a Christian virgin martyred for her beliefs at Syracuse in the fourth century.While the tall candles are tradition, they have lately been replaced by electric versions, as to not cause a holiday disaster!

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.
