Cardiac Care
AseraCare Home Health’s cardiac care services aim to enhance you
or your loved one’s knowledge of cardiovascular disease, as well as
significantly improve your ability to handle this condition.
Our home health services can help reduce visits to the physician
office and ER; eliminate multiple, unnecessary phone calls to the
physician; improve your overall health by controlling risk factors;
and supply peace of mind to you and your family members.
In order to provide complete clinical expertise, our home health
nursing staff and clinicians are up to date on the most recent
information and management techniques thanks to participation in
ongoing in-services and continuing education.
We realize that patients with cardiovascular disease need
education to manage the illness, so we incorporate specific
directives that address the unique protocols for hypertension,
angina, myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure.
Furthermore, we have extensive experience in dealing with
post-acute patients and we understand that patients who have
undergone cardiac surgery often struggle with feelings of fear and
apprehension, requiring additional assurance and education.
During home visits, our home health nursing staff and clinicians
will:
- Educate patients on such topics as their ADLs, medications,
diet restrictions, and controlling risk factors such as smoking,
weight and exercise.
- Communicate regularly with you about your status and
progress.
- Develop and assist you with a customized home health and
exercise plan designed to meet your specific needs.
- Give special attention to those who are anxious about managing
their illness.
- Educate and actively involve you in managing your condition.
Our clinicians give special attention to those who are interested
in managing their illness.
