Heart Attack Care in Century City, CA

Preventing Another Heart Attack at Home

When a family member has a heart attack, it’s important to take measures that will prevent future and more life-threatening heart attacks from occurring. A heart attack causes permanent damage to the heart muscle and lessens its pumping ability.

If you have an Elderly or Senior loved one who has had a heart attack, they may have needed open-heart surgery or have been prescribed medications to lessen complications such as blood clots, plaques, irregular heart beats, or angina.

Life can become seriously tiring for your loved one during the recovery period. At A-1 Home Care, we provide experienced and compassionate caregivers who can provide 24 Hour Care or Hourly Care for heart attack survivors.

We provide in-home living assistance with any tasks or errands such as transportation, getting groceries, meal preparation, bathing, dressing, mobility assistance, or medication reminders.

We also understand how having such a traumatic experience can be emotionally difficult. Our caregivers have the empathic companionship expertise to help your loved one stay positive.

All of our caregivers, nurse aides, companions, and home health aides have been extensively screened to meet our high quality standards. All of our homecare professionals must have at least 2 years of prior at home caregiving experience, verifiable professional references, a National Background Check/DMV Check, Tuberculosis testing, Malpractice/Liability insurance, First Aid/CPR training, and a personality review.

WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK:

Heart attacks, also known as Myocardial Infarctions, occur most commonly when the hardened plaque buildup in the wall of a coronary artery ruptures, creating a blood clot that impairs blood flow to the heart that damages or kills parts of the heart muscle of the artery. Old age, lifestyle choices such as smoking, and pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure or obesity are high risk factors for heart attack.
