We realize that patients with Cardiovascular Disease need education to manage the illness; therefore, we incorporate specific directives that address the unique protocols for hypertension, angina, myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. In addition, patients who have undergone cardiac surgery often struggle with feelings of fear and apprehension, requiring additional assurance and education. The clinicians at Home Healthcare Services are sensitive to these needs, and they are committed to instructing their patients on the diagnosis, its effects and how it should influence their daily routines. Clinicians educate patients on such topics as their ADLs, medications, diet restrictions, and controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, Diabetes, smoking, weight and exercise. |
