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.

Post Stroke Care for Culver City Seniors

Tags

a-1, care, caregiver, city, culver, diabetic, elderly, helper, home, in, incontinence, live, post, senior, stroke

Some people can say that being healthy is easy…and while it may be for some people, the truth is that we live in an age where greasy pizza, super-size sodas, and fatty foods are advertised everywhere around us. Eating healthy in such an environment can be hard for the average adult, but imagine how much harder it can be for seniors who are more accustomed to this. Staying committed to a healthy lifestyle after a stroke can be incredibly difficult for elderly and senior individuals to do on their own.  Boredom may cause them to eat leisurely and unhealthily.  They may not have motivation to get out of the house enough to exercise, which causes weight gain and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.  Elderly individuals could benefit from having a friend, family member, or caregiver guide them on a daily basis in living healthier.  Having someone around all the time can also make living healthier a fun experience. 

At A-1 Home Care, we understand how difficult it can be to be there for your loved one to help them live healthier when you have a job that you can’t just set aside or family to care for.  We provide compassionate and experienced caregivers for Post Stroke Care in Culver City on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis.

Our caregivers can help make recovery and living healthier a more enjoyable experience by being available for your loved one whenever they need any assistance.  Whether it’s working with your loved one to improve their mobility through exercise or preparing delicious and nutritious meals for them, you can count on A-1 Home Care to match you with a compatible in-home caregiver who can provide supervision, companionship, personal care, and assistance with errands. All of our caregivers and home helpers must have prior at home caregiving experience, and many have experience administering other facts of care including Diabetic Care, Senior Care, Incontinence Care and more!

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.

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.
