RELATED CONDITIONS
At Home with CHF
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is an illness that cannot be cured. The pumping action of the heart is inadequate, causing blood to back up into the lungs. This makes it difficult to breathe (left-sided heart failure). Blood also backs up into the veins, causing swollen legs and feet (right-sided heart failure). Our At Home with CHF program was specifically developed to meet the needs of patients with congestive heart failure and decrease unnecessary hospitalizations.
- Initial and ongoing education is provided to patients and families to assist in controlling the symptoms of CHF.
- Patients receive a weight form and scale to record their weight. In addition, check-in calls are made to find out if patients have gained weight or had any change in symptoms.
- Patients also receive a color-coded tool that helps them “grade” their symptoms so they know what a good day looks like versus when they need to be cautious or call for help.
- In addition, our nurses are equipped to anticipate the needs and symptoms of congestive heart failure patients.
- The nursing team verifies that prescribed medications are taken, and taken correctly.
