Special Needs Care for San Gabriel Valley Residents

Thanks to modern medicine and research case studies, we have been able to learn more concrete information about people born with special needs, like Autism, Down Syndrome, and Asperger's. In addition to our knowledge of these mental illnesses, our treatments of them has also progressed. Around the 1950's, when there was limited knowledge on such diseases and when the ethical standards were not as we see them today, medical professionals forced patients with special needs to undergo barbaric practices. In addition to these ill thought out practices, patients would also have to endure from the rest of society isolation and mistreatment.

Fortunately, we have come a long way since then and are now more aware of how these diseases function int the brain. We are more aware of the needs and methods of treatment for children diagnosed with such conditions. We, here at A-1 Home Care, are also educated on such needs and are ever striving to learn as much as we can in order to better serve families. Our Special Needs caregivers, in turn, have taken it upon themselves to  provide the most efficient care they can to make clients feel safe and secure. Whatever the need, be it 24 Hour Care or Overnight, our in home and live in home helpers will be able to bring the best homecare for your child and your family.

For more information on Special Needs services, call our office at 626 287 0250.

National Heart Awareness Month/ A-1 Home Care San Gabriel

Happy Heart Awareness Month! For this week, A-1 Home Care will be focusing on proper heart health practices.

 

Did you know that heart attack and heart disease is the number one killer of seniors and adults in America?

 

In the main type of heart disease, a fatty substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that bring oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Over time, this buildup causes the arteries to narrow and harden. When this happens, the heart does not get all the blood it needs to work properly. The result can be chest pain or a heart attack.

 

Most cases of stroke occur when a blood vessel bringing blood to the brain becomes blocked. The underlying condition for this type of blockage is having fatty deposits lining the vessel walls. These plaques are built up due to consumption of saturated fats and habits such as lack of self care, exercise and smoking.

A-1 Home Care sincerely wishes you a wonderful holiday in the upcoming weeks. With Christmas and New Year around the corner, this is truly a time to celebrate with family, and reconnect with old friends.

It's also a time to reconnect with age old traditions. One such tradition is trimming the tree. While Christmas may have changed a lot through the years, such momentos endure for generations.

In the 1950s, families used to gather together right after Thanksgiving in hunt for a perfect christmas tree. While today, the trees are purchased somewhat later, it's still a great joy to enjoy decorating it together as a family. The original Christmas tree existed in Germany, where they were typically decorated with lighted candles tied to branches. Considering the fire risk that entails, it's a relief we have electric lights instead!

Happy Thanksgiving!

In 2010, Americans bought around 244 million turkeys for Thanksgiving, meaning we eat a whole lot of poultry; however, about 18 million turkeys went unsold, which is the case every year. Due to this abundance of bird, Swanson came up with a creative use for leftover turkey in 1953. They sold it as part of a packaged meal that individuals could heat up for convenience. We now refer to those as TV dinners. Delicious and resourceful!
