Tustin In-Home Help for Managing Incontinence

In the United States, about 10-13 million individuals have urinary incontinence, but it’s suspected that more cases of incontinence go unreported due to the social stigma.  Many Americans don’t address the issue for years until it’s too late.  Left untreated, incontinence can cause urinary tract infections, falls, and contact dermatitis.  When families are unable or unwilling to deal with this problem with their elderly loved ones, they often commit their parents or grandparents to a nursing home, which is the most dreaded destination for the aging population.  Why not get 24-hour in-home care for your loved ones?  You kill two birds with one stone:  your elderly loved ones get to stay in the comfort of their own home and you don’t have to deal with toileting care anymore.  A-1 Home Care in Tustin takes the load off your shoulders with in-home care at affordable rates.

24-Hour Incontinence Care Relieves Family Members

One of the most difficult tasks in caring for an elderly loved one is personal care, which means helping a loved one with showering, bathing, dressing, transferring the loved one to and from the toilet (most likely from a wheelchair), especially in the middle of the night.  Too often, seniors don’t just get up once during odd hours; they wake up multiple times because they cannot sleep or they have lost bladder control.  It’s common for seniors to fall because they’re rushing to the restroom.  If they have arthritis or mobility problems, they may trip and fall and make the problem worse.  When you have a live-in caregiver, you can get a full 8-hour sleep without interruption because the caregiver will stay up all night to watch over your loved one, ensuring that she doesn’t fall or have any incontinence accidents.

Tustin Home Care: Recent Death of a Significant Other Leads to Cardiac Problems

Losing a spouse or a significant other is literally heartbreaking.  According to an online journal Open Heart, the death of a loved one increases the risk of atrial fibrillation, which is irregular heartbeat.  A risk factor for stroke and heart failure, atrial fibrillation is the result of a sudden, unexpected loss of a loved one.  Although other conditions create a risk for irregular heartbeat, such as underlying, pre-existing conditions like heart disease and diabetes, the risk for developing atrial fibrillation for the first time increases by 41% after the death of a loved one, regardless of age, sex or underlying conditions.  Has your elderly loved one survived the death of a spouse?  A-1 Home Care in Tustin has companion caregivers who are skilled in helping seniors through the bereavement process.

Reduce Heartbreak with the Presence of a Caregiver

As family members mourn the loss of an elderly loved one, the spouse takes it especially hard.  After all, this was his or her life partner with whom they’ve shared so many memories.  Every song, street, or situation will remind them of their loved one for a while, and it will be tough for sons and daughters to provide grief support for their surviving parent while they’re going through their own bereavement process.  A-1 Home Care in Tustin will help you with the grieving process as our live-in skilled caregivers are familiar with grief recovery.  They will give you the emotional and spiritual support you need while taking care of mundane chores like meal preparation, light housekeeping and other errands.

Tustin In-Home Care for Seniors with Arthritis

By definition, inflammation is a “localized physical condition in which part of the body becomes reddened, swollen, hot, and often painful, especially as a reaction to injury or infection.”  In seniors, arthritis is a joint disorder characterized by inflammation, usually caused by natural aging or an autoimmune attack.  The daily wear and tear of the joints, fatigue and inflammation can be minimized by an alkaline diet and assistance from a caregiver at A-1 Home Care in Tustin.

When symptoms are too painful, the elderly depend on a family member or caregiver to assist them with simple chores like meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation.  However, the pain can be so bad that the caregiver will need to assist with oral hygiene, feeding and bathing.  Two of the most important benefits of having a live-in caregiver are providing motivation to exercise and eat right.  A-1 Home Care in Tustin works closely with hospital medical teams so that your loved one will get the maximum care available.  Our attentive, detail-oriented caregivers will take note of your loved one’s diet and help them with range-of-motion exercises to reduce the pain.

Live-in and live-out respite care services for seniors who suffer from chronic pain and inflammation are available throughout Tustin.  A-1 Home Care’s team of care managers, caregivers, certified nurse assistants, certified home health aides and personal care aides have been bringing comfort, security and in-home care assistance for 24 years.  Because we are licensed, bonded and insured we ensure that each candidate who walks into our office is thoroughly screened and verified before they can enter the sanctuary of your home.  We are thankful for our dedicated team of 24-hour caregivers who win the respect of the elderly and their families.  As for financing elder care, A-1 Home Care offers easy financing options and also accepts Veteran Benefits and long-term care insurance.
