Summer Caregivers Available for Seniors and the Physically Disabled in Corona Del Mar

Summer is an exciting time for everyone, children especially. With school out and open parks and beaches, children and adults alike can enjoy themselves to the fullest in this season. However, there are certain groups that may feel excluded from such activities due to their physical abilities. I am speaking of the elderly seniors and physically disabled. Those who are residing with their families may feel excluded from such quality family activities due to certain physical limitations that tend to appear with age. 

What we, as a senior home care agency, offer for such circumstances are senior caregivers or caregivers for the disabled to tend to their needs 24 hours, overnight or temporarily. By having someone there to take all the responsibilities of caregiving, your loved one can feel safe while also enjoying the benefits of companionship. Not only that, but their health is now under professional care, as our caregivers each have two years or more of prior caregiving experience. They are trained to handle all facets of care, including Elder Care, Incontinence Care and Diabetic Care.

Try seafood for American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Corona Del Mar

Corona Del Mar is called the heart of the sea in Spanish. With stunning ocean views and amazingly fresh seafood available in plenty, we at A-1 Home Care thought we'd offer some region specific heart healthy tips in honor of February's American Heart Month. 

Heart disease is a top health concern for Americans, and if you’re looking to add more healthy food choices to your prevention plan—without comprising on taste—seafood is a great option. Cold-water ocean fish is best because it's rich in omega-3s, which according to the American Heart Association, have been shown to lower triglyceride levels, blood pressure and the risk of abnormal heartbeats. However, in general, most types of seafood can be eaten as part of a healthy diet because they are high in protein, but low in fat and calories.

A-1 Home Care works with seniors to achieve independence in their golden years. We are dedicated to enhancing health and quality of life for our local clients. We provide experienced care in  Corona Del Mar,  Huntington Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Newport Beach.

Fun activities for elders with dementia/ A-1 Home Care in Corona Del Mar

For seniors coping with dementia, one of the greatest frustrations is the inability to do those things they once loved. Activities and hobbies that used to be second nature might start to feel fuzzy or distant. This harsh reality can be discouraging for people suffering from Alzheimer, as well as their friends or loved ones who are trying to engage them. The biggest goal for care givers when planning any type of activity for seniors with dementia is to make them feel successful. It doesn’t matter if they play the game right or if the activity is even completed, the important thing is that they have fun.

Cooking or baking can evoke so many memories and the activity opportunities are endless.  Here are a few ideas that will help get started planning a fun, flavor-filled experience for seniors with dementia:

• Prepare a chocolate tasting
• Sample different flavors of tea
• Try tasting familiar holiday treats (candy corn, candy canes, peeps, Hersey’s kisses, etc.)
• Taste different flavors of ice cream
• Dip pretzels in various sauces (honey-mustard, spicy-ranch, BBQ sauce, etc.)
• Prepare a fruit salad together and steal bites
• String cranberries or popcorn for an outdoor Christmas tree
• Clean out a pumpkin, roast the seeds, and have fun carving

Pain after surgery/ Post Surgery Care in Corona Del Mar

Unfortunately, some pain is an inevitable companion to most types of surgery. The good news is that there are many highly effective medications to keep post-surgical pain under control. In addition to the benefit of greater comfort, experts say well-controlled pain can speed recovery and prevent long-term problems.

 In order to make sure you’re getting the best possible treatment for your post-surgical pain, experts advise taking an active role and keeping the channels of communication open between you and your doctor -- starting before your operation.

The time to talk with your surgeon and anesthesiologist about how your pain will be managed after surgery is during pre-surgery testing, not after the procedure has occurred.Here are some important questions to ask your physician before the date of your surgery:

1. How will the anaesthetics interfere with the medications I am taking currently?

2. How much pain should I expect?

3. Will there be any side effects?

A-1 Home Care takes pride in arranging compatible and affordable post surgery caregivers around Southern California. Call us anytime if you live in Corona Del Mar,  Huntington Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, and Newport Beach.

Elderly Veterans and Spouses may be eligible for pensions and aid

Not many veterans are aware that there is a government benefit that pays for caregivers, assisted living and nursing homes. This is called the Aid & Attendance benefit, which can cover the costs of caregivers in the home. Wartime veterans (who have served at least a day in wartime duty) may be eligible to receive up to $2,019/ month and up to $1,094/ month for a widow of a veteran.

Considered a "well kept secret" by the VA Administration, applying to receive these benefits may prove tricky. A-1 Home Care offers free consultations to determine eligibility for Veterans Benefits. If you or your spouse was an active veteran, call our offices for assistance with filling your application.
