Affordable Post-Heart Attack Care Provided To Seniors In Burbank

Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death among seniors today. If you're one of the fortunate few who have survived a heart attack and you live here in Burbank or a surrounding city in Los Angeles or Orange County, then you should understand the risk for incurring another heart attack is greater going forward after each one you suffer.

That being said, we at A-1 Home Care aggressively fight back against all possibilities of future heart attacks, as our specialized heart attack care providers have the skills and knowledge necessary to help every worried senior abstain from falling victim to another cardiovascular mishap.

Though genetics play a key role in our heart health as we age, there are other equally-important-- if not more important-- factors that can directly affect a person's heart attack risk. Some of these risk factors include lifestyle habits such as:

• smoking
• obesity
• poor dietary choices
• diabetes
• lack of exercise

But A-1 Home Care's home helpers can help you shore up those adverse lifestyle routines, even preparing nutritious and delicious meals for you that are heart-healthy to the max! These dishes include food like grilled chicken and fish, whole grains, leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, beans, and legumes, all of which have shown to be big combatants against heart disease going forward.

If you've suffered a heart attack or are battling any other kind of cardiovascular disease and you would like to speak to one of our professional senior care specialists, give Burbank A-1 Home Care a call today by dialing (818) 980-0094 or (562) 929-8400.

Looking for a Caregiver this Summer for your elderly loved ones? You wouldn't be the only one.

American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Calabasas

Enjoy healthy eating? This month is American Heart Month. A-1 Home Care will be focusing on heart healthy tips for seniors. 

For adults over 50, the benefits of healthy eating include increased mental acuteness, resistance to illness and disease, higher energy levels, faster recuperation times, and better management of chronic health problems. As we age, eating well can also be the key to a positive outlook and staying emotionally balanced. But heart healthy eating doesn't have to be about dieting and sacrifice. Whatever your age, eating well should be all about fresh, colorful food, creativity in the kitchen, and eating with friends.

Once you’re used to eating nutrient-dense food, your body will feel slow and sluggish if you eat less wholesome fare. Here’s how to get in the habit of eating well.

• Reduce sodium 
• Enjoy good fats. 
• Add fiber. 
• Avoid “bad” carbs. 
• Look for hidden sugar. 
• Cook smart. 
• Put five colors on your plate. 

 A-1 Home Care provides home care in Calabasas, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Woodland Hills, Malibu, Hollywood, and other cities in Los Angeles County. With 20+ years of experience as an industry leader, you will surely find the service you are looking for.

Starting an exercise routine for the New Year/ Senior Care with A-1 Home Care

Starting or maintaining a regular exercise routine can be a challenge as you become a senior. You may feel discouraged by illness, ongoing health problems, or concerns about injuries or falls. Or, if you've never exercised before, you may not know where to begin. Or perhaps you think you're too old or frail, or that exercise is boring or simply not for you.

While these may seem like good reasons to slow down and take it easy as seniors age, they're actually even better reasons to get moving. Exercise can energize your mood, relieve stress, help you manage symptoms of illness and pain, and improve your overall sense of well-being. In fact, exercise is the key to staying strong, energetic, and healthy as you get older. And it can even be fun, too.

This month, A-1 Home Care will be providing arts and crafts activities at the Downey Care Center on January 20th. We'd love for you to join, if you or a loved one is staying there.

Remember, there are simple and effective exercises that work for multiple body types and conditions. Consult your physician to find the regiment right for you!
