Heart Disease

Typically the cause of Congestive Heart Failure  is damage from a heart attack, high blood pressure, heart damage due to infections, lung disease or heart valve disease. The symptoms of congestive heart disease include:

​

• Shortness of breath
• Swelling of feet, ankles and the abdomen
• Dyspnea and a chronic cough
• Severe fatigue
• Confusion

A quality home care companion can help the patient meet those special challenges that can be so difficult, especially for those patients who do not have a family member to provide care. They will supervise the overall care and provide assistance with the activities of daily living as necessary. They can also run errands, take the patient to their doctor and help with their medications
