3 Helpful Thanksgiving Tips Elders Can Be Thankful For In Palos Verdes

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, elders in Palos Verdes have plenty of reason to be thankful—because the leading elder care tips for the holiday season are ready to be unveiled right here in LA and OC!
A-1 Home Care is the senior care agency trusted most in Southern California, and provides a variety of in-home care services at affordable prices that have aided elders from the comfort of their homes for more than 20 years and counting already.

Below are 3 helpful home living tips that elders can be thankful for this holiday season:
1.    Dine With Others. Even if you do not have family members to celebrate with, there are plenty of senior centers that provide enjoyable Thanksgiving meals. Enjoying the holiday with others will raise your spirits AND satisfy your tummy!
2.    Drink in moderation. Stick to one or two (at the most!) alcoholic beverages per day. Any more than that could lead to damage in your body that’s more long-term than it would have been when you were younger.
3.      Eat in moderation. As high as the temptation may be, be careful of overindulging in holiday grub—because overeating can cause some health problems that are more significant than you may realize, such as heartburn or even a heart attack!  


For more tips on how to enjoy Thanksgiving in the healthiest way possible from the comfort of the home, contact a friendly caregiver at A-1 Home Care today by dialing (310) 657-8780 or (562) 929-8400.

Healthy Meal Preparation in Palos Verdes for Seniors


Recent studies show that a Mediterrenean Diet promotes longetivity and healthy living. Many of you are most likely curious about what is a Mediterrenean Diet and how exactly it can promote a long life.

The Mediterrenean Diet involves enjoying meals that are rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, unrefined grains, olive oil and fish. Foods that fall into the categories of dairy, meat and saturated fats are kept to a bare minimum, while a glass of red wine with dinner is highly recommended! This diet has been consistently linked with health benefits that help manage your weight and lower your risk for chronic illness such as cardiovascular disease. It is also suggested that a Mediterrenean Diet can lower risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Defining Conservatorship in Palos Verdes Caregiving



What is a conservatorship?

Conservatorship and adult guardianship are essentially the same thing. If someone can't make important decisions for herself (because of Alzheimer or special needs for example), a judge appoints someone to make those decisions for her. Decisions made by the conservator have the legal backing of the court. The conservator might be appointed to decide about her finances, medical and personal care, or both.
Someone is appointed to make decisions about the elder's medical care and other aspects of her personal life. There are several advantages and disadvantages of having this done. 
Advantages
  • Lets family members know that someone is making decisions
  • Gives clear legal authority to deal with third parties
  • Provides a process to have a judge approve major decisions
Disadvantages
  • Costly to set up, requiring a lawyer, legal papers, and a court hearing
  • Time-consuming, including extensive ongoing paperwork
  • Can be humiliating for an older adult who is still somewhat capable
  • Can be emotionally difficult if family members disagree about who should be conservator

A-1 Home Care is dedicated to promoting good care for conservatees in Palos VerdesTorrancePasadena, and other cities in the area. We encourage local seniors who have recently suffered a from cancer to consider these facts. Our agency is A+ rated with the BBB and a member of the National Care Planning Council.
