What is the appropriate age for in-home senior care?
While there is no specific age that says one should start receiving senior care if your loved one is experiencing difficulty living independently, it may be time to consider your care options. Most people opt for senior care when their loved one has various physical, cognitive, or emotional issues that get in the way of a daily routine. Please visit our In-Home Senior Care page to learn about the specific signs that may indicate a need for senior care and why in-home care is the best option for your loved one.

What does in-home cancer care do?
While cancer care cannot cure the disease it aims to help comfort patients and relieve their symptoms. With in-home cancer care nurses care for patients from the comfort of their homes, so they can manage their symptoms and/or recovery process in privacy.

When should I receive mental health care at home as opposed to a treatment center or hospital?
If you are looking for complete privacy and comfort while you receive your care, then you should consider receiving mental health care (also known as psychiatric care) at home. Most mental health-related issues can be treated at home with the same – or even better – results when compared to care received at a doctor’s office or treatment center. If you or your loved one is in need of in-home mental health care visit our Mental Health Home Care page to learn about how Kinkaid can help.
How far along into Alzheimer’s or dementia should I hire care for my loved one?
As no two cases of Alzheimer’s or dementia are the same, and because each case progresses differently there is no single sign that says it’s time for care. Rather, when an individual with either condition reaches a point where he or she is unable to perform daily activities independently, it may be time to look into some care options. We recommend looking into in-home care options as this will allow your loved one to receive the care he or she needs without the stress of moving to a facility. To learn more about Alzheimer’s and dementia care and the in-home care Kinkaid can provide your loved one, please visit our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care page.
Is any case of Alzheimer’s or dementia too serious for home care?
With our highly experienced clinical nursing and case management team in place, your loved one will remain safe and secure. Additionally, our team works closely with your loved one’s medical team to provide oversight by monitoring daily changes in behavior and mood to ensure effective interventions are in place. Should any unsafe situation arise, our nurses are in close contact to respond appropriately and quickly. To learn more about Alzheimer’s and dementia care and the in-home care Kinkaid can provide your loved one, please visit our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care page.
How can I care for a loved one with a serious brain injury?
Caring for a loved one with a traumatic brain injury requires expert attention and personalized care based on the specific injury. We recommend hiring professionals to ensure care is administered appropriately. Moreover, as one of the symptoms of most brain injuries is higher stress and anxiety, we recommend looking into in-home care options because this will allow your loved one to receive care without the stress of having to travel to a treatment facility. Visit our Neurological Care page to learn about your in-home care options with Kinkaid.
How effective is care for a disease with no cure, such as ALS, MS, or Parkinson’s?
When it comes to caring for neurological diseases like ALS, MS, or Parkinson’s, your loved one’s care is all about making him or her feel as comfortable as possible. While care in this case will not cure the disease it will allow your loved one to live a higher quality of life. To learn more about how this type of care works and how your loved one can receive care from the comfort of his or her home please visit our Neurological Care page.
What should I do if I’m not ready to be discharged from the hospital?
Many hospitals, unfortunately, discharge patients before they are ready to resume their normal lives. Reasons for early discharge vary from insurance issues to lack of resources. Regardless of the reason for your early discharge, you should consult a care provider who can help you with a hospital discharge plan. Hospital discharge plans aim to ensure you make a smooth transition back to regular life and that you can continue your recovery in a safe and effective manner from the comfort of your home. A hospital discharge planning team from Kinkaid includes a case manager and a clinical nurse specialist. Together, they coordinate the logistics of your discharge and work with hospital doctors to ensure you have everything you need. Furthermore, our team will ensure timely administration of your medications and make certain you have the smoothest transition possible. Kinkaid offers hospital discharge planning for clients in the Los Angeles area. Visit our Hospital Discharge Planning page to learn more.

Is acupuncture really effective?
