Helpful Caregivers Provide Exceptional After-Surgery Senior Care

Whether you've just had a joint replacement, an organ transplant, or any other invasive surgery that requires you to stay in the hospital for a few days afterwards in order to remain under medical supervision while you recover, you can begin to feel lonely and depressed. 

At A-1 Home Care in Huntington Beach, we provide helpful after-surgery caregivers for all seniors who are left to recover on their own in the uncomfortable setting of a hospital room, as we firmly believe the secret to a quicker recovery involves having an uplifted spirit along the way. 

After all, many senior patients who are stuck in the hospital following surgery are in pain, feel very weak, and are uncomfortable about doing too much because their doctor(s) told them that doing so could compromise the whole purpose of the surgical procedure.

That's why our Huntington Beach care givers look to lift up your spirits so that you can be on your way out of the hospital doors and back into the comfort of your own home as quickly as possible! Each A-1 Home Care hospital sitter at your disposal is adept in companion services that go beyond simple chit-chat-- because their idea of "keeping you company" involves actively interacting with you, picking things up from your home that you'd like with you there in your hospital room, and all the other things that help turn an initial relationship into a lasting friendship.

Depression and Parkinson's Disease Care in Huntington Beach

The topic of depression is coming up more and more frequently in the news as celebrities and others are speaking out about their personal struggles with the illness. While many claim that they are "feeling depressed" when they are feeling sad and lonely, clinical depression is not a subject to speak lightly about. Depression is a common mental disorder that globally affects more than 350 million people of all ages. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, insomnia, irritability, and thoughts of suicide. If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of depression (more can be found on WebMD), it is advised to speak with a mental health professional and seek treatment.

Recent studies show that there is a link between depression and Parkinson's Disease. In a recent article in the New York Times, Swedish researchers found in their case study that those suffering from depression are at an increased risk for Parkinson's disease. The more severe the depression, the higher the patient is at risk. Dr. Nordstrom, the lead author of the study, said that the damage to the brain from depression could be causing the increase in Parkinson's Disease. Or, perhaps that in the early stages of Parkinson's, patients are more prone to depression.

Whatever the case may be, if you or your loved one has Depression or Parkinson's, A-1 Home Care can assist you and your family with providing compassionate care for your loved one.

Yummy Christ Morning Treats/ Happy Holidays from all of us at A-1 Home Care!

It could be me, but Christmas always conjures up memories of warm cookies, heady cinnamon ciders, and roasted turkeys. It's a food centric holiday, as much as it is about family and connection with tradition. Food is a wonderful way to bond with our loved ones. As we sit in the kitchen cooking together, or pass down family recipes down the generations, we forge intimate bonds with those closest to us.

A-1 Home Care fully appreciates the magic of giving, and encourage you to try a new recipe out to debut to your family. We chose Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls from food.com for a beautiful breakfast treat.

Ingredients

• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp sugar, divided

Instructions

1. In a large sauce pan (or in a bowl in the microwave at 30 sec increments), heat the almond milk and 3 Tbsp butter until warm and melted, never reaching boiling. Remove from heat and let cool to 110 degrees, or the temperature of bath water. It should be warm but not too hot or it will kill the yeast.
2. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 minutes, then add 1 Tbsp sugar and the salt and stir.
3. Next add in flour 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as you go. The dough will be sticky. When it is too thick to stir, transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or so until it forms a loose balll. Rinse your mixing bowl out, coat it with canola or grapeseed oil, and add your dough ball back in. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush with 3 Tbsp melted butter and top with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 – 1Tbsp cinnamon.
5. Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough and situate seam side down. Then with a serrated knife or a string of floss, cut the dough into 1.5 – 2 inch sections and position in a well-buttered 8×8 square or comparable sized round pan (you should have about 10 rolls). Brush with remaining 2 Tbsp butter (melted) and cover with plastic wrap. Set on top of the oven to let rise again while you preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6. Once the oven is hot, bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes and then serve immediately.

We wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.Our caregivers are available for overnight and weekend shifts over the holiday weekend.

Happy Holidays from all of us at A-1 Home Care!
