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.

"We recently hired Right at Home to provide daily care for our 96-year-old mother in Manhattan. The women who continue to care for her are lovely. Patient and very competent. My mother recently had surgery and the aids have been able to accompany me to her appointments to ensure they know what additional care is needed. RAH management has been very responsive to additional requirements and we've never been disappointed."

"We found Right at Home to take care of my younger brother after being disappointed by two other agencies. My brother suffers from a cognitive impairment and has been diagnosed legally blind. Right at home has provided knowledgeable and compassionate care givers that my brother now considers true friends. The owner and staff not only met but have far exceeded any expectation I've ever had for at home healthcare. Thank You Greg (the owner), Andre, and Zander."

"Our relationship began when we called Gregg in desperate need of immediate 24/7/365 care for my mother. Gregg met with us the next day and was able to have a caregiver in her home within 48 hours. The caregivers selected were based on an in depth conversation regarding my mother's needs and it has been working out quite well. We are very appreciative for this relationship and look forward to working together for many years to come."

"Our family is extremely grateful to Right at Home for providing warm and professional aides to care for our parents. Between cooking, organizing and assisting our parents with in home chores, we're confident they can remain in their apartment for a few more years! The owner, Greg, and his office staff were able to identify our parents needs, and patiently deal with finding the appropriate aides. We agreed to write this recommendation after being asked, simply because it's given my entire family peace of mind!"

"I hired Right at Home in uptown Manhattan to supervise my 87 year old Mother who suffers from Dementia. The owner himself conducted a thorough evaluation and consultation, determining the appropriate needs for my mother's care. We ultimately chose two compassionate care givers who spend upwards of 12-16 hours daily with my Mom. It's been an incredibly east process and makes things much easier on me being I live in the outer boroughs. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!"
