Care at Home for Seniors & Elderly in Palos Verdes

Driving is one of our great freedom we have living in this country.  Millions of cars are on the road, yet our population is getting older.  Many seniors and elderly folks are driving until well into their 70’s and 80’s, yet driving is known to be a challenge to elderly people because it encompasses physical ability as well as safety issues.  Not only do age hinders the driving ability, diseases such as Parkinson’s can also affect on your independence.  Depending on the condition of the elderly, there may still be a few years of driving left in the individual.  However, if the reaction of the patient is severely affected, it might be necessary to take the keys away from your loved ones. A good gauge of whether driving is still safe is from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is “If a loved one were my passenger, would I be risking that person’s safety because of my Parkinson’s disease?”

Life with Parkinson’s Disease – Driving

If you live in Southern California, chances are you are a driver. However, as much of a routine as driving is, a patient with Parkinson’s Disease might not be able to drive with such ease.  Not only does it involve the physical ability, but it also has to do with legal permissions and safety issues that could potentially be more trouble down the road.  While the patient might be able to operate a vehicle for several years with its initial diagnosis, the ability of the driver should be assessed constantly based on aspects of vision, general task handling ability, and reaction time.  As a patient on the Michael J. Fox Foundation website puts it best, “If a loved one were my passenger, would I be risking that person’s safety because of my Parkinson’s disease?”

A-1 Home Care in Palos Verdes offers great live-in or live-out care for Parkinson’s patients, in addition to other home care services such as after surgery care, cancer care, hospice care, and other cares for seniors and elderly.

Benefits of Hospice Care

Some may view hospice as a sign of giving up, but there are many advantages to hospice care. When treatment no longer cures the patient, it may be time to consider hospice care.  To many, this is the way for them to feel they’re still in control of their life when they’re vulnerable. Choosing hospice care is the way they choose to live out the rest of their lives. Instead of being in a hospital, many choose to return home. Being in their own homes provides comfort and familiarity to the patient. Surrounded by their loved ones encourages patients to fight on. The main goal for the team of hospice professional is to reduce any pain and discomfort to ensure the quality of life for the patient.
