24 Hour Home Care in Arcadia

November 26, 2014 by A-1 Home Care Agency

For every family, the relationship between a son or daughter and parents can vary greatly. Some individuals have always gotten along very well with their parents while others have a more strained relationship. For every son or daughter, there comes that time when you realize your parent’s health is faltering and you begin thinking about the near future and options for long term care. Before taking on the role of a caregiver it’s important to know your own limitations. If caregiving is too much of a burden on you, finding outside help is a good idea.

We specialize in Elder Care services such as Alzheimer’s Care, Arthritis Care, Cancer Care, Diabetic Care, Parkinson’s Care, Post Stroke Care, and Hospice Care.

Cancer Care in Arcadia

April 15, 2014 by A-1 Home Care Agency

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.

July 31, 2013 by A-1 Home Care Agency

The quote “Never judge a book by it’s cover” can also be applied to nutrition and food. For example, although we can all agree for the most part that green vegetables are healthy, some may not be appropriate for Elderly and Senior individuals. Certain foods have some bacteria that makes it harder for Elderly and Senior individuals to fight off germs inside the body and as a result, they could end up getting sick; whereas for a younger person, eating the food might not be as big of an issue.

Caregivers who prepare meals for Elderly individuals on a daily basis should be aware of certain foods that although healthy, might cause problems for Elders or Seniors. This article talks about foods such as raw seafood, sprouts, soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk & juice, ceviche, Montecristo sandwiches, tiramisu, and others that could cause some type of food-borne illness.

At A-1 Home Care, we can ensure that your loved one eats nutritious meals on a daily basis. Our caregivers have ample experience with meal preparation for Elderly and Senior individuals. All of our homecare professionals must have at least 2 years of prior at home caregiving experience, verifiable professional references, and pass multiple background checks and tests before we approve of them.
