Congestive Heart Failure affects over 5 million Americans and is the leading cause of hospitalization in people 65 and older.

How can Compass Healthcare's interdisciplinary team help manage CHF patients at home?

👉 Provide strategies and educate on the disease processes and how to respond to them.
👉 Identify early signs and symptoms of an exacerbation (worsening of the disease) as patients/residents can get appropriate intervention to avoid hospitalizations.
👉 Monitor symptoms and develop tips regarding medication management.
👉 Teach healthy food choices including limitation of sodium and fluids.
👉 Assist with strengthening muscles to avoid falls and improve endurance and develop energy conservation activities for self-management of CHF at home.

Compass Healthcare develops individualized care plans under the supervision of physicians and provided in the comfort and security of patients’ homes, including assisted and independent living facilities.

Our goal is to keep patients/residents safe and independent at home by empowering them to take charge of their own health through patient education and health coaching and by coordinating care with other health care professionals, community resources, and family.
