Alzheimer Care in Hollywood, CA


In the early stages of Alzheimer's, your loved one might still be able to live and function independently. As the disease progresses, however, his or her ability to handle daily tasks will dwindle. Consider practical tips to help your loved one maintain a sense of independence and dignity as he or she becomes more dependent on you or other caregivers.

Developing effective coping strategies can help you:
  • Remain engaged and active
  • Respond to challenges that will help maximize your independence and well-being
  • Gain a sense of control over your life
Keep in mind that what works well for one person, may not work for another. And, strategies that work for you one day, may not work the next. When developing your coping strategies, try different ones to find those that work best for you. The more flexible you can be, the better you can fine-tune your strategies to help with each situation.

Happy Thanksgiving from the staff at A-1 Home Care

This thanksgiving, we'll be gathering around the table to celebrate our blessings and reunite with our families. Did you know that the turkey sitting at the table is imbued with deeper meaning?

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the official bird of the United States. He felt that the eagle had a “bad moral character” and wanted to honor the turkey as a “native” bird with relevance to our nation’s history of celebrating overeating.They chose the eagle instead.
