Elderly Care in Coronado CA

As a family caregiver, stroke is one of the most pressing concerns that you might have for your elderly loved one. More than 800,000 people throughout the United States each year suffer a first or subsequent stroke, and this brain condition continues to be the fifth leading cause of death throughout the nation. The risk for suffering a stroke doubles each decade of life after the age of 55, which means that the older your aging loved one gets, the higher the risk that they will suffer a stroke. Like age, there are some risk factors for experiencing a stroke that your elderly parent cannot change. Fortunately, there are others that they can influence, enabling you to structure your care plan around helping them to reduce this risk and stay healthier throughout their later years.

Some of the ways that your elderly parent can reduce their risk of stroke include:

• Control high blood pressure. If your elderly parent suffers from high blood pressure, they are at increased risk of suffering a stroke. Help them to find ways that they can control their blood pressure and reduce it, if possible to protect their brain as well as their heart and the rest of their body. This can include an improved diet, more physical activity, and remaining compliant with the doctor’s orders.
• Quit smoking. Smoking cigarettes has no benefits and a long list of serious risks, one of which is increased vulnerability to stroke. If your elderly parent strokes cigarettes, talk with their doctor about how you can safely and healthily help your parent quit this habit.
• Encourage a healthier diet. What your parent eats makes a tremendous difference in their health and well-being, including reducing the risk of a wide variety of complications and conditions. Encouraging them to eat a healthier, more balanced diet is a critical part of keeping their body healthier overall, and reducing their risk of suffering a stroke.

Starting elder care for your aging loved one can be one of the best decisions that you can make for them during the course of your caregiver journey with them. The highly personalized services of an elderly home care services provider are designed to address your senior’s individual needs, challenges, and limitations in a way that helps them stay as safe, healthy, and comfortable as possible while avoiding potentially serious health complications. When it comes to serious health problems such as stroke, this care provider can help your parent to understand the risks that they are facing and make changes to their daily routine that can reduce this risk and give them the quality of life that they desire and deserve throughout their later years. This can be as simple as helping them to change their diet to a healthier approach, get more active, or even offering reminders to help them remain compliant with the guidelines and prescriptions given to them by their doctor. With this personalized support your loved one can reduce their risk and live a healthier lifestyle as they age in place.
