Christmas Ornament Making at Two Palms Convalescent in Pasadena

Yesterday, several members of A-1 Home Care's corporate family took a trip to Two Palms Convalescent Home in Pasadena for a round of arts and crafts. We loved being able to spend time with the elders that we met.
We had a lot of fun making sparkly Christmas ornaments with glitter glue, and made loads of new friends!




This is Verne. He used to work with airplanes as a young man. He regaled us with stories about his wild days driving 1964 Corvettes, and how to operate ham radios.

 After the art activities, we finished our Christmas cookies, lay our ornaments to dry, and presented the activity director, Lerna, with a gift bag of goodies for her generosity in inviting us to the center.

 We were so happy to meet all of the great elders at Two Palms Nursing Center. We hope you love your Christmas decorations, and hope to see you again!

VA Benefits may be available for San Marino Veterans and their Widows


World War II was a major historical event that involved 61 countries and 72 million worldwide deaths. Tens of millions of young American men were drafted to serve abroad as soldiers, pilots, engineers, medics, and more. Today, the survivors of WWII and other wars have reached an elderly age and many are living in low income areas with few resources for health, living and medical costs.

 The Veteran's Administration provides an excellent benefits package for qualified wartime vets. This little known compensation program includes the Aid & Attendance Benefit as well as the basic Veterans Pension. Both are meant to supplement the elderly or disabled vet who lives in a low income lifestyle.

A-1 Home Care is a boutique caregiver employment agency that provides service in neighborhoods around San Marino. Our agency offers consultations for elderly and disabled vets who are interested in applying for Veteran's Benefits.

Live In Care in San Marino

According to new studies, taking alcohol does not improve your chances of falling asleep. In healthy people, alcohol did make people sleepy initially but reduced rapid eye movements and cause disrupted sleep. So for those seniors who like to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, don't imbibe at least 2 hours before bed for optimal rest!

Insomnia is stressful, but there are some tactics you can use to beat it. Our live in caregivers can prepare a clean, quiet space for elders to rest, make chamomile tea and other soothing techniques. When sound sleep is elusive, talk to your doctor about sleep aids or therapeutic techniques to promote relaxation.

A-1 Home Care has assisted elders with sleep issues since 1991. We provide Live In Caregivers in the cities of San Marino, ArcadiaAltadenaSierra MadreMonroviaPasadena, cities in San Gabriel Valley, and other cities in Los Angeles County

24 Hour Home Care in San Marino

According to new studies, counseling may be effective for countering obesity in adults. Two studies cite that obese patients who received intensive counseling were 30-50% less likely to have Type 2 Diabetes three years later. Read "Obese Adults Should Get Counseling, Federal Task Force Says" by the LA Times to learn more about this interesting new discovery.

Obesity and related diseases cost the nation $147 billion in yearly healthcare spending. Obesity is also related to other debilitating conditions such as arthritis, lower life expectancy, osteoporosis and more. Alarmingly, the article stated that as many as half of obese patients reported not being told by physicians that they needed to lose weight.
