If you’ve had a heart attack or other heart problem, cardiac rehabilitation is an important part of your recovery. Cardiac rehab can also help prevent another, even more serious, heart attack and can help you practice heart-healthy habits.
During the pandemic, many people do not have access to cardiac rehab due to cost, lack of transportation, and other factors. That’s where home health care comes in. Here are just a few ways that home health care can help you with cardiac rehab:
• Cardiac rehab is more accessible at home. Your rehabilitation care comes to you, so you don’t have to worry about transportation.
• Home health cardiac rehab results in fewer hospital visits, which is even more important during these challenging times.
• People who participate in cardiac rehab report an improved quality of life.
• Patients who complete cardiac rehabilitation are shown to have better health outcomes.
• Cardiac rehab allows greater education for the patient and family members.
• Home health-based cardiac rehab allows for better coordination with other healthcare providers.
• Receiving cardiac rehab in a home health setting allows your loved one’s care to be personalized to their unique needs.
CDC reports that cardiac rehabilitation can also help prevent or lessen depression. If you or your loved one needs cardiac rehab, find out how Aveanna can help provide care in a home health setting.
