Home Care Keeps Seniors in Covina Out of Hospitals

Thanks to health care reform, home care agencies are stepping up to the plate when it comes to elder care and patient discharge.  According to ABC News, hospitals are putting more emphasis on decreasing the length of patient stay in the hospital, and home care has become a more cost-effective option.  Patients receive better care in the comfort of their own home, where they receive undivided attention from caregivers.  A-1 Home Care teams up with hospitals like Citrus Valley Health Partners, Inter-Community Hospital in Covina, San Dimas Community Hospital, Queen of the Valley Hospital, and other medical centers in the area.

Elder care services send trained, professional caregivers into the homes of seniors where they provide supervision of medication, toileting care, meal preparation, and other assistance.  If your elderly loved one has had an unhealthy habit of smoking or drinking, a caregiver can assist him or her in eliminating addictions that lead to hospital re-admission.  High blood pressure, Diabetes, cardiovascular and other health complications are risk factors for hospital re-admission.  Adverse drug reactions may result from a senior overdosing or not taking enough of the prescribed doses of medicine.  A-1 Home Care provides assistance with daily living activities and transportation anywhere in Covina or neighboring cities.

A-1 Home Care will see to it that your elderly loved one is taken care of, whether you need a caregiver for 24 hours a day or just a few hours a day.  We are an established home care agency serving Covina and other surrounding cities in the San Gabriel Valley.  For 23 years, we have provided reliable and quality live-in and live-out care to seniors and their families.  Our phone lines are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can always reach a live operator no matter what time you call.
