Happy Thanksgiving!


Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which begs the question: what do you have to be thankful about? 2013 has been a fruitful year for many of us. Here at A-1 Home Care, we've been blessed to meet so many new and wonderful clients. Keep your thankful spirit in mind when dining with your families this holiday season!

Cranberry Sauce, by Alton Brown

1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup 100% cranberry juice
1 cup honey
1 lb fresh cranberries

Wash the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones. 

Combine the orange juice, cranberry juice and honey in a 2-quartsaucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Do not cook for more than 15 minutes as the pectin will start to break down and the sauce will not set as well. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 

Carefully spoon the cranberry sauce into a 3 cup mold. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to overnight. 

Remove from the refrigerator, overturn the mold and slide out the sauce. Slice and serve.

Hospice Care in Glendora

America's first hospice was founded in 1974 and the idea spread rapidly since then. Many elders and adults facing the end of life were dissatisfied with spending their last days aggressively receiving treatment in a hospital environment. Now, seniors could opt for enjoying their final days in relative peace, with an enhanced quality of life.

A-1 Home Care recruits experienced Glendora Hospice Caregivers to provide loving care in the cities of Glendora, Pasadena, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, El Monte, Monrovia and Los Angeles.

24 Hour Home Care in Glendora

Nature has many secrets, and among them are natural remedies to many illnesses and ailments. When you're feeling sluggish or down, ask your caregiver to prepare one of WebMD's "Brain Foods That Help You Concentrate" to help you feel peppy and ready to face the day. Tips include: Eating fish for their omega 3s, snacking on nuts, drinking a glass of fruit juice to speed recall and more! Greatest part: these tips double as sensible guidelines for a healthy diet. Seniors with taking medication after surgery or with food allergies should consult a doctor before embarking on new diet plans.
