Heart Failure

Heart Failure is a common condition among the senior population and those seniors who live in the Bay Area are no different. Heart failure is a chronic disease where the heart muscle does not pump blood as well as it should, struggling to pump blood out of the heart or sometime failing to fill the heart properly with blood.

Rehabilitation Process

Polaris Home Care employees undergo rigorous training in a variety of conditions to be able to provide the most appropriate type of care required by each client. For those who have been diagnosed with heart failure, our caregivers can assist those clients with around the clock care. In-home care professionals are able to provide our clients with any and all services they may need as they live with heart failure. The benefit of having a caregiver in the home is that there is someone with the patient every day or at least multiple times a week to monitor and work with the client between doctor visits. Our caregivers understand that their ultimate goal is to keep our clients safe above all else, having the ability to monitor the client within their home in their day to day lives is crucial to being able to minimize hospital readmissions.
