Arcadia Arthritis Care

Arthritis is a debilitating disease that affects the joints.  With over 100 different types of arthritis, the most common ones we hear about are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Symptoms of arthritis include stiffness in joints, pain during movement, fatigue, depression, muscle strains, and inflammation.  This painful disease intrusively interferes with an individual’s daily activities, and the pain is so agonizing that it becomes impossible to walk, kneel, eat, or write.  Simple tasks like holding a pen become a gruesome ordeal.

As time passes, patients with arthritis become more reclusive, as they abstain from social activities like going to church or going out to dinner with friends, because walking becomes unbearable.  The depression associated with arthritis steepens with social isolation.

While it is hurtful for family members to witness their loved one’s health decline, they can still turn to home care agencies like A-1 Home Care to provide loving support at home.  Caregivers, certified nurse assistants, and home health aides are trained to assist arthritis patients with daily activities like meal preparations, light housecleaning, laundry, and uplifting companionship.  Your loved one will greatly benefit from the presence of someone who understands arthritis and knows how to take care of his or her specific needs.

Gestational Diabetes Care in Arcadia

The less commonly known form of Diabetes is Gestational Diabetes, which is developed in the fetus during pregnancy. This rare condition is found in roughly 4% of pregnancies. If the mother is diabetic while she is pregnant, her condition can cause birth defects and increase the chances of miscarriage. To determine the risk of Gestational Diabetes in the baby, the mother should be tested before the 13^th week of pregnancy and doctors should take into account the mother’s medical history and factors.

After birth, it is vitally important for the baby to receive special post-natal care. About two-thirds of newborn deaths could have been prevented in 2010 if mothers were skilled in postpartum care. Babies with gestational diabetes are more at risk and need special attention. A small percentage of mothers who give birth to babies with gestational diabetes develop Type 2 Diabetes within six months after delivery. Within ten years, the percentage skyrockets to 60%.

Regardless of the type of Diabetes mothers have, A-1 Home Care delivers specialized diabetic care and postpartum care for mothers and children. You will receive customized care in the comfort of your own home, and rest assured that our experienced, knowledgeable caregivers, certified nurses and home health aides will respond effectively to your needs.

Arcadia Heart Attack Care

If you’re a fan of cheeseburgers, fried chicken and fries, then you are headed for heart trouble. Foods high in cholesterol will clog your arteries and shorten your lifespan, increasing the chances of stroke and heart attack. A heart attack occurs when there is a build-up of fatty acids, protein and calcium within an artery. These form plaques, and when the plaques harden, they crack, allowing blood to come and form clots in the area. If the clot gets big enough, it blocks the flow of blood, robbing the heart of its supply of oxygen. The death of heart muscles due to lack of oxygen results in discomfort, pain in chest, indigestion, nausea, irregular or rapid heartbeats, and feeling of heartburn. These symptoms last longer than half an hour. People with diabetes are more prone to having heart attacks than others.

Life after Heart Attack

To assist with cardiac rehabilitation, home care agencies offer outpatient assistance with exercise programs, medication reminders, daily chores and transportation. A-1 Home Care’s certified nurse aides will work with your doctors, nurses and medical care team to ensure that your loved one will follow the prescribed recovery plan to prevent repeat heart attacks and future hospitalization. Having emotional support by your side goes a long way when you have to change lifestyle habits. It’s easy to return to old habits without accountability and encouragement.

Cancer Care in Arcadia

By simple definition, cancer refers to an unregulated growth of a group of cells, called tumors. The cause of cancer is unknown, and it can be categorized into two groups: benign and malignant. A benign tumor is cell growth that stays in one area, and a malignant tumor spreads throughout the whole body, infecting other organs. Common types of cancer we hear about on the radio or TV include breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer.

If given the option, most cancer patients would opt for in-home care after surgery or hospitalization. Caregivers and home health aides provide assistance with meal preparation, medication, personal care and lifting/transferring. There’s no need to stress when your loved one is in good hands! A-1 Home Care is a licensed and bonded in-home care agency that provides experienced and reliable certified nurse assistants, caregivers and companions to meet your needs.

For a free assessment, please call (626) 287-0250 or visit http://www.arcadiainhomecare.com to learn more about our wide range of cancer care services. A-1 Home Care serves families in Arcadia, Sierra Madre, San Gabriel, San Marino, Pasadena and other cities throughout San Gabriel Valley.

Kidney Care in Arcadia

The basic function of a kidney is to filter wastes through the blood, regulate blood pressure and maintain a balance of salt and minerals. When kidneys fail to function, the following symptoms take effect: nausea, swelling in ankles, insomnia, shortness of breath, and build-up of wastes in the blood. What causes kidneys to fail in the first place? Drugs, traumatic blows to your lower back, and pregnancy complications are just three of many ways that stop kidneys from functioning properly.

When you feel physically weak and have a hard time breathing, it’s hard to maintain an upbeat attitude every single day when it seems like you are losing your ability to do simple tasks like meal preparations and household chores. The emotional support you need may come much later in the day when family or friends come home from work. But during the day is when you need help the most. That is where caregivers come in. With their companionship, energy and skills, they provide you the assistance you need to get the job done – whether it’s taking you to the clinic for dialysis treatments, dispensing the correct medication and preparing meals in accordance with the doctor’s orders, caregivers and home health aides are there to help!

Arcadia Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care

The words “Dementia” and “Alzheimer’s” are used interchangeably but in reality, they are not synonymous with each other.  Dementia refers to a group of symptoms related to cognitive impairment and is not necessarily connected with age.  Alzheimer’s, on the other hand, generally sets in during the golden years and is commonly associated with memory loss.  You may have heard about elderly ladies wandering out of the house in the middle of the night or Grandpa forgetting how to brush his teeth.  These are symptoms of Alzheimer’s; although seemingly innocent and funny at times, symptoms of Alzheimer’s can lead to disastrous results if not monitored properly.

If you or a loved one is experiencing early symptoms of Alzheimer’s, it is best to get treated by a doctor before symptoms get worse.  Though there is no known cure, treatment for Alzheimer’s is available.  Doctors strongly recommend the presence of a caregiver in the home, especially as in-home health care has become the widespread trend across America.  A-1 Home Care provides excellent Alzheimer’s Care round-the-clock to provide relief for working family members and to give comfort to elderly loved ones who prefer to stay in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Call A-1 Home Care today (626) 287-0250 or visit our website http://www.arcadiainhomecare.com to get a free estimate for live-in or live-out care!  We provide Alzheimer’s Care in Arcadia, Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Burbank, Covina and surrounding cities.
