Homecare San Diego, Agency Shares Tips for Emotional Health

Saturday, October 28th, 2017

Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports Emotional Wellness Month by publishing smart tips for seniors. “Having home health care services visit regularly can help people live long, happy and well-adjusted lives in their golden years,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Here are three ways in home care can encourage emotional health in seniors.


A Great Addition to Family Provided Care-A home health care provider can help ease the burden of providing round the clock care, making sure seniors have full-time care when family can’t be present. This increases the elderly person’s mental and emotional state by allowing them to live in the homes they love, surrounded by good memories.

Spend Time Outdoors-Home care givers can help seniors get out and enjoy good weather in a safe and healthy fashion. If the senior is able, a health care provider can make it possible for them to attend local social events with others their own age. These are the things that keep elderly minds active and happy.

A Compassionate Friend-When seniors face the loss of friends or loved ones, health care providers can help them adjust and move forward. In home caregivers are trained to recognize the signs of depression, withdrawal and other mental health issues, consulting with family and medical professionals to help seniors continue to live happy lives.

3 Ways Home Health Care Del Mar Can Help

Thursday, July 27th, 2017

When a loved one is living with a debilitating disease, or an aging parent needs help, families often try to provide care from home. Long-term care can be complex and in home caregivers offer a practical solution.

Here are three important ways qualified in home caregivers can help.

Medical Expertise   
Keeping track of medications and making sense of complex details can be difficult for non-medically trained family members. A skilled nurse has trained for a variety of medical situations and is an invaluable asset. 

Safe Independence      
If a parent is elderly, but wants to stay in the home, having a trained caregiver visit part time is smart. A professional caregiver can offer assistance with meals and running errands—the perfect way to preserve independence while keeping them safe.

Outside Support      
A visiting nurse provides more than medical expertise for a loved one. The right professional offers ongoing emotional support for family members. A visit from a caregiver is the opportunity to take a break. With adequate rest, family can provide better care for a loved one.

Friday, June 30th, 2017

Firstat Nursing Services, a San Diego Homecare and Senior Caregiver Agency supports National Safety Month by publishing, 3 Ways to Make Life Safer and Happier for Senior Citizens. “Family members can help their loved ones stay safe and make the best of their golden years by providing assistance in several ways,” said Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services.

Family members can help elderly loved ones understand the dangers of sharing personal information online and encourage them to create strong passwords that are unique.

Outdoor Safety - Spending time outside in the fresh air and sunshine is one of the best ways to fight the effects of isolation and depression. Family members should make sure elderly loved ones understand the pitfalls of summer heat by helping them avoid too much time in the hot sun and the importance of staying hydrated.

Home Safety - Family members can help seniors stay safe at home by getting help from a qualified home nursing company. Having a trained professional available to check in on a senior is smart. While care typically involves medical assistance, it also includes help with personal hygiene, light housekeeping and offers companionship on a regular basis.
