The baby boomer generation has grown a reputation for insisting on remaining independent, and rightfully so.  Who wants to live in a nursing home during the holidays anyways?  It can be too much change in a lifestyle you’re already so accustomed to.  Even if your loved one is in good health right now, it’s important to plan ahead and perhaps settle on a long-term insurance plan. 70 % of people 65 and older are estimated to need long term care, so it definitely is smarter to prepare earlier when long term insurance is affordable before retirement.

A-1 Home Care is a non-medical homecare agency that provides 24 Hour Care in-home care services in Culver City.  We provide compassionate and qualified caregivers, nurse aides, companions, and home helpers who must have prior at home caregiving experience, verifiable professional references, a National Background Check/DMV Check, Tuberculosis testing, Malpractice/Liability insurance, First Aid/CPR training, and a personal interview with our office staff.

We specialize in Elder Care services such as Arthritis Care, Parkinson’s Care, Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care, Respite Care, Diabetic Care, Cancer Care, After Surgery Care, Hospice Care, Incontinence Care, and Post Stroke Care on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis.

When you have an Elderly or Senior loved one, you may find them asking you questions that you don’t have the answers to.  As they become more engulfed in learning about their bodies and health – how medications keep them healthy or how certain foods help with different areas of bodily health, you may be unable to provide an answer to a question that you haven’t ever considered.

For nutrition purposes, hiring a registered dietician to analyze your loved one’s health and establish a meal plan accordingly can be the best solution for providing them peace of mind and informing them about why certain foods are good/bad for them.  Establishing a meal plan has tremendous short term and long term health benefits, in addition to making grocery shopping easier.

So how do you find a registered dietician?  This article from Livestrong gives you all the information you need to evaluate the credentials of a dietician.  There are many nutritionists who claim to be very knowledgeable about nutrition, but registered dieticians are held in the highest regard because they have the most credentials and experience. The article provides you with some questions to ask so that you can evaluate their competence.

At A-1 Home Care, we provide experienced and qualified caregivers for a variety of non-medical in-home care services.  We specialize in 24 Hour Live-In Care and Hourly Care for Elderly, Senior, and Terminally Ill individuals.  Once your loved one has a solid meal plan in place, our caregivers can help carry out the plan and ensure that your loved one eats healthily every day.  Our caregivers focus on healthy meal preparation and exercise to ensure an optimum quality of life, no matter what your loved one’s care situation is.

Some of our in-home care services include Arthritis Care, Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care, Diabetic Care, Cancer Care, Kidney Disease & Tumor Care, Heart Attack Care, and Incontinence Care.

Dealing with Incontinence can be a very difficult thing to do for Elderly and Senior individuals who have it as well as the primary caregiver.  Although they need help, the Elderly individual may feel ashamed after an accident and not want their caregiver to help clean, but they have to tolerate it because they can’t clean themselves.  The caregiver may be worried or embarrassed about going out in public in case the incontinence individual has an accident.  There are ways to make incontinence more manageable, such as with purchasing incontinence pads/pants, adult diapers, absorbent undersheets, and waterproof bed sheets.  Trying to find a patter in the Elderly individual’s bathroom time throughout the day can help you form a bathroom trip schedule.  This article titled Coping with Your Emotions is from the point of view of an incontinent individual, but it applies to family caregivers as well in disclosing your loved one’s problem to other friends and family.

Are you considering in-home Hospice Care for an Elderly loved one who was diagnosed with a terminally ill condition?  When the time comes to make a decision about the treatment your loved one will receive at end-of-life, it’s important to know your loved one’s options and be able to explain the options to them as well.  Most Elderly individuals prefer to spend the time they have left at home to be near friends and family, and the feel-good feeling we all get from being home.  This article titled Woman’s Life Refutes a Hospice Myth tells the story of a 91 year old woman who was diagnosed with a fatal heart condition when she was 85 and told she had 6 months to live.  She talks about how she immediately knew she wanted hospice care and about how life has been in the six years since her diagnosis.  Although this miracle of a story may not apply to everyone who uses hospice care services, it may hint at some great benefit that Elderly individuals gain from the service.
