Caregiver Tips for an Easy Holiday Season – Homecare Rancho Bernardo

Tuesday, December 26th, 2017

Firstat Nursing Services, a Rancho Bernardo Home Health Agency supports seniors by publishing smart tips for the holidays. In-home care can be a short-term arrangement for families to ensure the well-being of their senior loved ones during the holidays, or a long-term situation to help keep loved ones happy and healthy all year long,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here are three ways in-home care can help seniors with the holidays.

Get Out and About During the Holidays - One of the biggest obstacles to holiday gatherings for seniors is simply the inability to travel by themselves. An in-home caregiver can help seniors get out of the house to enjoy fresh air or visit with friends.

Stay Connected to Distant Relatives - For senior citizens with distant family members, a home care provider can keep connections strong through phone or the computer. They can also help find local gatherings where seniors share experiences during the holidays. In-home caregivers can arrange for transportation to events for those capable of getting out and socializing.

Beat the Holiday Blues with In-Home Care - Having an in-home care provider helps senior citizens beat the most dangerous aspect of the holidays, the isolation blues. Seniors are vulnerable to holiday depression, especially when family members are unavailable to stop by and visit due to other holiday commitments.

Home Health Agencies Poway Offers Ways to Help Seniors

Wednesday, November 29th, 2017

Watching parents age can be extremely stressful. We want to ensure our loved ones are not only happy as they grow older, but safe. When age related illness or diminished health impacts someone you love, a great solution is a top priority.

Here are three ways in home health care can benefit aging seniors.

Help Managing Self Care     
Seniors suffering with chronic pain often reprioritize self-care, neglecting hygiene and other self-care activities. Hiring an in home health provider is a smart way to ensure mom or dad has the help they need to successfully navigate self-care, such as bathing and dressing safely.   

Competent Medical Assistance         
Whether its help administering difficult care, or simply remembering to take prescriptions, in home care offers peace of mind. Reputable providers are happy to create a schedule that works on your time, whether it’s a few hours or full time care.

Encourage Safe Independence  
An aging loved one may not have the skills necessary to do things they enjoy, causing depression and unhappiness. A friendly caregiver gives them the security they need, building confidence and encouraging safe independence.

Firstat Nursing Services has been providing a higher standard of home nursing, home health and home care services for elderly, disabled and injured people in the greater San Diego area since 1997.

Tips for Diabetes Month – Home Health Agencies Poway

Wednesday, November 29th, 2017

Firstat Nursing Services, a Poway Home Health Agency supports National Diabetes Month by publishing smart tips for seniors. “Managing diabetes requires some planning and a lot of assistance. Having a professional caregiver visit regularly can be of great help to a senior citizen living with the disease,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Here’s how home health care can assist elderly individuals dealing with diabetes.

Assistance on Your Schedule-When people begin a home health care regimen for themselves or for an elderly loved one, the first thing they will usually do is meet with the caregiver to determine the best schedule for visiting. Some choose to have a health care nurse check in daily, some weekly and some even prefer live-in care for constant support.

Activities of Daily Living-Depending on the senior citizen’s needs, a health care provider can help manage diabetes by making sure medications are taken properly. A home health care provider can evaluate eating habits and the safety of food preparation in the home. When needed, the caregiver may even assist in the actual preparation of the foods for each meal.

Expert Medical Assistance-Trained caregivers can monitor blood sugar levels after meals, and keep in contact with a physician. Health care providers are trained to watch out for complications from diabetes, perform routine in-home monitoring of vital signs and inspect client’s feet and hands to maintain optimal health.
