Special Needs Care for Sherman Oaks Families

As the years progress, so does society’s moral standards and acceptance. We have become more educated about issues concerning racial and gender discrimination and as a result have abandoned barbaric practices that fuel irrational ideas about those who are born with differences. One example of discrimination based on differences includes those born with mental handicaps, like Autism or Down Syndrome, who were once thought to be useless or even evil towards society. Obviously, we’ve advanced since then and have now moved more toward educating ourselves and learning more about these conditions.   

We at A-1 Home Care embrace this step and have taken moves toward helping families facing these circumstances. With our 24 Hour and in home caregivers, we can help improve the quality of life for family members with mental illnesses. Our Special Needs caregivers are able to administer quality and professional live in care and can handle other tasks that have to do with Incontinent Care, Disability Care and more.

February National Heart Awareness Month/ A-1 Home Care Sherman Oaks

February is National Heart Health Awareness Month. In honor of this national awareness month, A-1 Home Care will focus this week on cleaning up our heart health and spreading useful information about avoiding heart disease and heart attacks.

Heart disease is a precursor to heart attack, and is largely preventable due to proper self care and healthy lifestyle. Importantly, there are many risk factors that you can change to avoid an unexpected trip to the emergency room. These include

• smoking
• being overweight or obese
• physical inactivity
• high blood pressure
• high blood cholesterol
• high blood sugar due to insulin resistance or diabetes
• an unhealthy diet (for example, a diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium).

Ushering in the Christmas Holidays/ Happy Christmas from A-1 Home Care!

We all love Christmas here at A-1 Home Care. What's there not to love about family and friends, and great food? Here at the office, we're celebrating the holiday spirit by playing Christmas songs and wearing red Santa hats. Come and visit us to share our holiday cheer!

At its core, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus. The holiday's connection to Christ is shown through its Old English root of "Cristes maesse" or Christ's Mass. For Christians, it is the time to renew one's faith, give generously and consider the past. But Christmas is also a secular celebration of family--one that many non-practicing Christians and people of other religions are comfortable accepting as their own. The secular nature of Christmas was officially acknowledged in 1870 when Congress made it a federal holiday. Federal and state employees and most private businesses observe Dec. 25 by not working.

 A-1 Home Care is able to arrange for elder caregivers during the upcoming holidays. We can gladly accommodate you with a single call.

 For more than 20 years, A-1 Home Care has helped people improve the quality of their lives while remaining in their homes.  We serve Los Angeles County cities of Sherman Oaks, Santa Monica, Culver City, Glendale, Beverly Hills, Calabasas and Encino.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's a little known fact about Thanksgiving: 
 
George Washington was the first to propose a national holiday for Thanksgiving. Many others agreed, but, Thomas Jefferson was not one of them. Jefferson referred to the idea as “the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.” (I guess he wasn’t a fan of cranberries.) The holiday wouldn’t become a thing until Lincoln signed a proclamation making it the last Thursday of November for Thanksgiving in 1863.

Thanks to Lucy Hale (who hounded Congress until they instituted it), Thanksgiving is a beloved national holiday. As we look forward to meeting with our families, friends and neighbors over a scrumptious meal, lets be thankful for all we have in our lives.
