Heart Disease Prevention Care

In-Home Care Services Specialized for Seniors with Heart Conditions

Arteriosclerosis or “hardening of the arteries” occurs when the inside walls of an artery become thicker and less elastic. The thickening reduces the area available for blood flow. Although arteriosclerosis reveals few symptoms at first, as plaque grows, it narrows the artery and in some cases blocks it entirely. This can lead to angina and heart attacks.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is often encountered in the elder care field. It occurs when the heart cannot pump out enough blood to meet the needs of the body. All forms of heart disease may eventually lead to CHF. CHF is the most common cause of death for people over the age of 65. Approximately 75% of our clients are over the age of 65, making this disease very important in the senior health care arena.

"They were able to match my mother with someone that is a great fit for her. We have a caregiver that we like that the service provided. She does the modifications that we ask her to do. They communicate well regarding the scheduling. They have done a good job matching the right person."

Hear What Others Are Saying

"They are very responsive if I have any questions or need to make any changes. I am living in a house with many stairs, and they are able to get things on the different levels of the house. Mary is very attentive when transferring me from my chair to any other seated positions. They are very flexible and can recommend easy solutions if I have questions about billing or insurance. I look for someone that is tall, fairly strong, and can lift the things I have trouble lifting"

"They are easy to work with. If I have to reach them, they are on the phone. They give companionship. They are a lot of caregivers. There is a lot of switching. They are good at getting back to me when I leave messages. They are also good at getting back to my mom when she calls."

"I've used Right at Home three times in the past. Each time, the caregivers that have been sent were really good. There were different people that came. I had knee surgery and needed ice and exercises every hour, and they were good about that. They set everything up for me. They were flexible with the schedule. We had great conversations and even became friends in addition to the care provided.."

Hear What Others Are Saying

"So far, they have some through with their promise of who they will send. The caregiver has been committed and has been on schedule since we started the care. They are helpful because they sit with my husband while I go and do other things. They have been reliable, and the person has always been here. So far, the caregiver has just done simple things for the client. They are very attentive to my husband and very courteous. It was difficult to find someone to provide care where we needed care. I like that they keep me informed of caregivers that they might have available to come and help on the days that we need it. One thing I really like is that he is very polite."
