In Home Arthritis Care in Beverly Hills

Handling buttons, twisting open jars and crouching to pick up that pen. The body is designed to perform a variety of flexible movements to survive day to day. So what do we do when our joints don't work? Arthritis is the most common type of disability in the United States with 46 million people suffering from more that 100 types. Luckily, there are a few tricks that you can use, as suggested by WebMD. 

1. Slip fat rubber grips over everything from toothbrushes to pens, reducing pressure on joints.
2. Doorknob and Lamp adapters are available at any hardware store and easy to operate.
3. Reach extenders help retrieve things from high shelves without putting pressure on knees and hips.
4. Cooking enthusiasts can use power appliances in the kitchen to protect their joints.
5. Installing lever style faucets make turning taps much easier.

Live In Care for After Surgery in Beverly Hills

Getting older comes with risks and rewards...and some wearing down is expected. Enter the question, "Should You Have A Knee of Hip Replacement?" Joint replacement surgery can be a life changing move for the right patients. However, it won't help everyone who suffers knee of hip pain. So how can we know? WebMd.com comes in with a wonderful article highlighting some scenarios that may help you decide.

Joint replacement is great for people with bone damage, such as Osteoarthritis. If you are experiencing pain and stiffness to the point that other options aren't helping, consult your doctor. Where surgery may not be the best choice is when seniors have infections that may impede post surgery healing or other health concerns.

A-1 Home Care arranges Beverly Hills Live In Caregivers to provide care for seniors seeking round the clock care. We can prepare simple meals, make beds and clean wounds for individuals recovering from surgery.
