Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation is beneficial for patients following a cardiac event such as a heart attack, bypass surgery, stent placement, valve surgery, angina, or congestive heart failure. The goal is to develop an individualized plan for regaining strength, managing heart conditions, reducing the risk of future health problems, and improving overall health and quality of life.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation helps those with a chronic lung disease to live and breathe better. Conditions such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, restrictive lung disease, and cystic fibrosis can make doing everyday activities difficult due to shortness of breath and low activity tolerance. Pulmonary Rehabilitation teaches breathing techniques, energy conservation, oxygen use, managing shortness of breath, and decreasing anxiety and depression.
Our nurses continually monitor patients with our new telemetry unit that traces the heart activity, oxygen level, shortness of breath, and blood pressure while measuring improvement and the patient's response to activity. Our Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation sessions are scheduled approximately three times per week and typically last one hour.
The convenience of Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation right here at home, supervised by specialized, caring nurses, is priceless. Please ask your health care provider to recommend our local services!
