American Heart Month/ A-1 Home Care Heart Attack Caregivers

Did you know that February is National Heart Awareness Month?


Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. When blood cannot reach part of your heart, that area starves for oxygen. If the blockage continues long enough, cells in the affected area die.

Coronary heart disease (CHD)is the most common underlying cause of a heart attack. CHD, also called coronary artery disease, is the hardening and narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by the buildup of plaque inside the walls of the arteries. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. This may result in mandatory visits to the hospital.

Luckily, there's a lot that can be done about this. Heart disease and heart attacks are largely due to bad lifestyle choices. A-1 Home Care has heart attack caregivers who can prepare healthy, low calorie meals and assist with daily exercise to help stave away any nasty hospital visits.

Holiday Traditions Explained: Mistletoe/ A-1 Home Care says, "Merry Christmas!"

Perhaps the most romantic part of the Christmas season, is the tradition of mistletoe.

Celtic legend says the plant can bring good luck, heal wounds, increase fertility and ward off evil spirits. While it's hard to say what  truth lies in these legends of yore, at the very least, it provides a fun and festive holiday environment. The tradition of exchanging kisses underneath the mistletoe began in the Victorian era and was once believed to inevitably lead to marriage. But it seems to have lost a little of that power. Now, when someone kisses you it might just mean they've had a few too many sips of holiday punch at a party — the most modern, silly Christmas tradition of them all.

A-1 Home Care provides caregivers to offer assistance for elderly family members during the Christmas holiday. We encourage you to contact us soon for pre-holiday interviews and arrangements!

A-1 Home Care is A+ rated with the BBB and a member of the National Care Planning Council. Call today if you live in Malibu, Topanga, Agoura, Encino, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Westlake Village, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Studio City, Thousand Oaks, and Woodland Hills.

A-1 Home Care wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving

Contrary to popular belief, historians believe that the original Thanksgiving feast looked little like the meal enjoyed today. Aalthough there are very few clues to reconstruct the feast, some scholars believe that food items, like venison and fish, were the main sources of protein, not a turkey. It's also thought that the food preparation would have been greatly influenced by American Indian traditions since the Puritans had been instructed by American Indians on how to cultivate and cook items

A-1 Home Care hires amazing cooks who can help you celebrate your own Thanksgiving holiday. Our amazing full time caregivers are highly rated by clients and fully bonded, licensed and insured. Feel free to take a look at our testimonials and meet our Caregivers of the Year.

The government shutdown and how it affects you

The government has entered its third day of shutdown without indication of the showdown ending anytime soon. The last time there was a partial shutdown of the federal government, there was a Democrat in the White House and Republicans controlled the House of Representatives. However, this situation is different. Democrats and Republicans are not any closer to bridging the differences than they were at the start of this ordeal.

So what does this government shutdown mean for seniors in Malibu? Elderly vets or widows can breathe a sigh of relief. Among the "essential" functions that are preserved in the partial shutdown are Social Security checks, payments from the Veterans Pension and Aid & Attendance Benefit and US Postal Service. So seniors and adults who recieve financial aid benefits through these venues will not be affected.


A-1 Home Care arranges free consultations for seniors and elders who may be eligible for benefits with the Veterans Administration. We provide counseling regarding form preparation, gathering paperwork and other details.

Hospice Care in Malibu

Dying at home, in the place most comforting and familiar, is one of the most common preferences voiced by seniors. However, this simple request can require some planning. A-1 Home Care arranges in home caregivers to provide hospice care at home, a hospital or skilled nursing facility.

A successful hospice plan starts with communication. Have a talk with your loved one to learn what their preferences for end of life arrangements are. As this can be a sensitive conversation, A-1 Home Care suggests discussing with empathy and compassion.

A-1 Home Care provides care services in  Malibu, Topanga, Agoura, Encino, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Westlake Village, Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Studio City, Thousand Oaks, and Woodland Hills.
