Holiday fun at the Whittier Senior Center

A-1 Home Care spent the afternoon at the Whittier Senior Center, having a ball with the local elder community, making arts and crafts. We arrived in the early afternoon, with several members of our corporate staff in tow. With plenty of refreshments, activities, and a nifty holiday Powerpoint to offer the community, we were confident that the event would be a success!

The PowerPoint presentation included classic images of Christmas, and winter themes.

Feelings of sadness after surgical procedures/ Fullerton In Home Care for Post Surgery

Experiencing anxiety before an operation is often not surprising to patients, but the feelings are not as easily explained after the procedure has been completed. Post-operative depression can be especially bewildering if it comes as a surprise to the patient because it has not been discussed between the doctor and patient. 

 Symptoms of post-operative depression vary with each person, but common ones include changes in appetite and energy levels, shifts in mood such as apathy or irritability, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness and despair. The physical symptoms might also be credited to the after-effects of the surgery, which can make the diagnosis of post-surgical depression difficult and confusing. 

 Defined by the Mayo Clinic as a “medical illness that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest,” depression is already a difficult topic for people to discuss, and many are reluctant to admit to feeling the way they do, thinking they have no reason to be depressed or are just going through a rough time at the moment. 

A-1 Home Care can arrange for a compassionate, friendly caregiver to provide emotional assistance in the period after surgery. 

 We provide care in  Fullerton, Downey, Norwalk, Long Beach, Lakewood, La Mirada, Cerrittos and other cities of Los Angeles County and Orange County.

Live In Home Care in Fullerton

Feeling sluggish and tired during the day? You may be suffering from fatigue. Fatigue is a common symptom of  depression, anemia, under eating, diabetes and other conditions. It reduces seniors quality of life and interferes with interest in daily activities. We advise you to get a check up to make sure your fatigue isn't caused by an underlying illness. However, WebMD has compiled some fast fixes for pesky daytime sluggishness. They recommend:

Exercise. This causes a burst of energy and better energy levels throughout the day
Hydration. Drinking water helps blood flow, which keeps you alert
Avoid Caffeine. This sounds counter intuitive, but caffeine interferes with essential sleep cycles.
