One of the first things that CHF seniors and their families in the Colorado Springs area need to know is that the term “congestive heart failure” suggests that the heart has stopped working, but that is not entirely accurate. As a chronic disease condition, CHF refers to the heart not being able to pump with enough efficiency to meet the body’s needs. With certain lifestyle changes and proper treatment, seniors with CHF can lead active lives for many years, and the care team at Amada Colorado Springs is here to offer personalized options for long-term CHF care in Colorado Springs, Cimarron Hills, Security, Stratmoor, and surrounding areas.

A senior loved one living with CHF may experience fatigue, breathlessness, oedema (fluid and water retention), pain and other symptoms. With their training and experience, Amada caregivers can offer support in helping CHF clients manage their symptoms while communicating to them about their care preferences. In providing congestive heart failure home care, Amada caregivers look for these and other classic symptoms like weakness, coughing, sudden weight gain, and changes in the frequency of urination. Knowing the CHF protocol for in-home care, an Amada caregiver can help you or your loved one know when it’s time to call a healthcare provider in Colorado Springs, Cimarron Hills, Security, Stratmoor, and surrounding areas. This can significantly improve long-term care outcomes for CHF patients.

Lifestyle changes may help improve the side effects of congestive heart failure and your Amada caregiver can help with that, too. Our caring team can assist senior clients with heart failure home care and ensure that the treatment plan prescribed by their cardiologist is being followed. We also can encourage seniors diagnosed with CHF to stay active or let them know when it is time to put their feet up for a rest. Let us help you and your senior loved one receive the best home care for managing CHF symptoms with confidence.
