Know the Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19
The virus is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Therefore, it spreads between people who are in close contact with one another (about 6 feet) or by touching a surface or object where respiratory droplets have landed. Some recent studies have suggested that COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.

People with COVID-19 usually have mild to severe respiratory illness. These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus:

Not everyone with COVID-19 will have all symptoms and fever might not be present.
If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19, get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs may include: trouble breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, new confusion or inability to arouse, bluish lips or face.
If you have a medical emergency and need to call 911, notify the operator that you have or might have, COVID-19. If possible, put on a facemask before medical help arrives.
Avoid Contact With People Who Are Sick
If you are caring for someone at home who is sick, have the person stay in one room, away from other people and pets, as much as possible.
Talk with your family about COVID-19. Fear and anxiety about a disease are overwhelming and cause strong emotions in both children and adults.

Respite Care

When a loved one requires care, it’s natural to want to take on that responsibility yourself. However, providing care for a parent, spouse, sibling, or other loved one is a demanding task. Balancing their care with the other responsibilities in your life can take a significant physical and emotional toll. We understand how challenging this can be, which is why Leeyan Home Care LLC offers respite care services to support you and your family.

You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving and the AARP, approximately 53 million American adults serve as unpaid caregivers, with most caring for a family member.

At Leeyan Home Care LLC, we believe that family caregivers deserve time to rest and recharge. Our respite care services offer the relief you need, allowing you to take time for self-care, while knowing your loved one is in good hands.

Palliative Care

When faced with a serious, chronic, or life-threatening illness, physicians often recommend palliative care to enhance quality of life and provide support in managing the disease. This type of care focuses not just on treating the illness but on improving comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being.

At Leeyan Home Care LLC, we take a person-centered approach to palliative care, helping individuals with conditions like congestive heart failure, cancer, dementia, and many other chronic illnesses. Our goal is to ease the burden of managing these conditions, offering compassionate care that ensures comfort, peace of mind, and support for both patients and their families during difficult times.

Parkinson’s Care

Managing the progression of Parkinson’s disease can be an emotional and physical challenge, often bringing feelings of uncertainty and fear. This neurodegenerative disorder, which affects muscle movement and control, still has no known cause or cure. However, organizations like the Parkinson’s Foundation continue to make strides in advancing medications and treatments that improve quality of life.

At Leeyan Home Care LLC, we are here to support you every step of the way. Our caregivers are trained to assist with the unique challenges of Parkinson’s, providing compassionate care that helps maintain independence and safety. Whether it’s assisting with mobility, daily routines, or simply offering encouragement, we’re dedicated to helping you or your loved one navigate this journey with dignity and confidence.

Diabetes Care

Aging often brings natural health challenges, but living with diabetes can add an extra layer of complexity to daily life. Simple routines like meal planning must now focus on maintaining a balanced, diabetes-friendly diet and preventing weight gain. Staying active becomes even more critical, and regular blood glucose monitoring becomes a non-negotiable part of your day.

These challenges can feel even greater for those diagnosed with diabetes later in life. Long-standing habits and routines can be difficult to change, making it overwhelming to adapt to a new way of managing health.

At Leeyan Home Care LLC, we’re here to help. Our caregivers provide personalized support to help you or your loved one effectively manage diabetes symptoms. From offering encouragement to assisting with daily reminders and meal planning, we’re dedicated to making diabetes management a seamless part of your routine. Let us help you focus on living well while staying on top of your health.

Memory and Cognitive Care

Dealing with changes in memory, mood, or cognitive function can be one of the most difficult challenges for families, especially when these issues are associated with aging. While Alzheimer’s disease is well-known, it’s only one of many conditions that can affect the brain and impact daily life.

Caring for someone with cognitive impairments requires patience, understanding, and strength. When you’re managing it alone, it can feel overwhelming and isolating. It’s not just the condition you’re dealing with—it’s also the emotional toll of seeing your loved one struggle. Even with your best efforts, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling short, leaving you exhausted both mentally and physically.

At Leeyan Home Care LLC, we’re here to lighten the burden. Our goal is to help you and your loved one focus on the positive moments, creating an environment where good days can be celebrated. We understand the challenges you face, and we’re committed to providing the support and care you both need.

We offer tailored care plans designed to meet the specific needs of your loved one. Our services include personal care, companionship, homemaking, and respite care to give family caregivers time to recharge. With Leeyan Home Care LLC, you’ll never have to face this journey alone. Let us help you create meaningful moments and provide the compassionate care your family deserves.
