A new "Choosing Wisely" campaign by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation has identified 100 procedures that should be avoided by the elderly. The list was culled from common treatments like surgeries and therapies commonly (and mistakenly) administered to seniors and elders. This includes:
1. Feeding tubes for people with dementia
2. Psychiatric medication for dementia and Alzheimer
3. Prescribing antibiotics for patients with no discomfort for UTI
4. Sleeping pills rather than gentler therapies for insomnia
There are alternatives to all items on this list. For example, it is suggested that patients with Alzheimer be fed by hand rather than a feeding tube, which exacerbates bed sores and irritates the throat. A-1 Home Care can arrange for a dedicated 24 Hour Senior Caregiver to stay with mom or dad during the day. We provide caregiving services in in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Burbank, Los Angeles, West Hollywood, North Hollywood,
Beverly Hills, Santa
Monica, La Canada, Flintridge, Glendale, San Fernando or elsewhere in Los Angeles County.

Arthritis Care for Elderly and Seniors in Studio City
There are different types of Arthritis- Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis and Gout- but each affect the body in painful ways. When your wrists are throbbing, fingers swollen and knees in pain, the best thing to do short of surgery is physical therapy. A-1 Home Care has Studio City Arthritis Caregivers who can help you perform these WebMD recommended exercises to reduce pain and gain energy. We are dedicated to helping our senior and elderly clients improve the quality of their lives.
Some tips include:
Warming up joints when they get stiff overnight
Adopting a "no excuses" policy for physical therapy
Strength training to reduce pain
Pain in the joints is distracting and sometimes debilitating. If you need an Arthritis Care Provider, Elderly Companion or Senior Attendant to assist you in tasks like dressing, bathing or mobility assistance call A-1 Home Care today.
We provide care in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Burbank, Los Angeles, West Hollywood, North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, La Canada, Flintridge, Glendale, San Fernando, and others in Los Angeles County.
