It's a Matter of Heart...

If you or a loved one lives with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) you understand that managing the disease can be a daily struggle. Fluid retention, swelling, shortness of breath and anxiety are all common symptoms of CHF.

As the disease progresses, patients frequently find themselves in the emergency room or being re-admitted to the hospital because of these symptoms. This cycle is frustrating and exhausting. It robs patients of precious time they could be spending with friends and family.
 

In-home care may be right for you or a loved one if you answer “yes” to any of the following questions:

  • Has the patient shown noticeable limitation of physical activity?
  • Has the patient shown reduced heart function?
  • Does the patient need assistance with activities of daily living?
  • Is the patient not suitable for, or declined a surgical procedure?
 
Is my loved one ready for in-home care?
