Making preparations for Mom/ Elder Law & Conservatorship

First, the symptoms were slight. Mom sometimes started misplacing things, forgetting steps to long used recipes, or just seemed a little forgetful. Now the diagnosis is clear. She is losing her memory to Alzheimer's disease. 

Suddenly, everything is a whirlwind. There are arrangements to make. Between yourself and your siblings, mom's arrangements for self care, living expenses, and legal power of attorney must be determined. It's a difficult time for your family, but plans must be made to ensure the best quality of life for your mother. 

This is where an elder law attorney comes in. Elder law attorneys handles cases in which elderly or special needs adults require conservators to handle their essential decisions. When an elder cannot handle basic decisions regarding food, shelter, medical decisions, and daily living, it's time to make changes. 

A-1 Home Care has worked with elders and their conservators for years. We assist seniors who live in  La Canada, Flintridge, Los Angeles, Altadena,Pasadena, South Pasadena, Glendale, San Marino, Burbank and other cities in Los Angeles County.

Planning activities for seniors with dementia/ A-1 Home Care in La Canada

So how do our caregivers plan days with elders who have dementia?

When planning an activity for someone who is coping with dementia, the plan must remain dynamic. It is very unlikely to finish what is started or that it will turn out exactly as planned. That is why the goal is never the actual activity. The true activity is hearing elderly loves ones laugh, watching them smile and knowing that for a moment they are happy. Someone who is struggling with Alzheimer not only can change on a day-to-day basis, but on a moment-to-moment basis. To remain encouraged, keep an open mind and be willing to try new things.

 A-1 Home Care has agents who provide consultations for elders interested in homecare. We are a nonmedical home health agency with experienced in home caregivers who are fully Licensed, Bonded and Insured.

Post Surgery Care in La Canada

Many things can happen in the post surgery period. You may feel hazy or groggy as you come round from the anesthetic. A nurse will give you oxygen (through tubes or a mask) to help you feel better.

It's important to find out how well your operation went. Here are some questions you may want to ask:

• Was the operation as successful as expected?
• What effect has the operation had on my condition?
• How will I expect to feel when I get home?
• How long will it be before I'm back to normal?
