Amada caregivers specifically look for the classic signs of&nbsp;congestive heart failure&nbsp;like weakness,&nbsp;shortness of breath, coughing, sudden&nbsp;weight gain, swelling feet and ankles, and changes in the frequency of urination. Because of their training to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/heart-failure\/warning-signs-of-heart-failure\">recognize these symptoms<\/a>&nbsp;when present, Amada caregivers can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/how-to-be-effective-caregiver-for-person-with-heart-failure-4145309\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help you or your&nbsp;loved one<\/a>&nbsp;know when or if it\u2019s time to call&nbsp;a&nbsp;health care&nbsp;provider\u2014which can significantly improve long-term care outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"answer\">We are here to help with&nbsp;symptom management,&nbsp;too.&nbsp;Lifestyle changes&nbsp;may help improve the&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;of&nbsp;congestive heart failure&nbsp;and your Amada caregiver can help with that. Our caring team can help senior clients ensure that the&nbsp;treatment plan&nbsp;prescribed by their&nbsp;cardiologist&nbsp;is being followed. We can also help seniors stay active or let them know when it is time to put their feet up for a rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is&nbsp;congestive heart failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"answer\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/heart-failure\/what-is-heart-failure\/types-of-heart-failure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Heart Association<\/a>&nbsp;describes&nbsp;congestive heart failure&nbsp;as \u201ca type of heart failure which requires seeking timely medical attention.\u201d Signs of this type of heart failure include swelling or edema. This commonly occurs in the legs and ankles, but it can happen in other parts of the body, too. Fluid can collect in the lungs and interfere with breathing, which in turn causes&nbsp;shortness of breath&nbsp;and in some cases respiratory distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"answer\">Amada caregivers are trained to offer in-home care services for&nbsp;heart failure patients. In addition to assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) and ensuring a good&nbsp;quality of life, our&nbsp;care team&nbsp;can identify the signs of&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;or&nbsp;symptoms of heart failure. They can alert&nbsp;family members&nbsp;and help clients get&nbsp;medical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CHF&nbsp;symptoms that Amada caregivers are trained to watch for:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sudden or steady&nbsp;weight gain&nbsp;(for example, 2-3 pounds in 24 hours or 5 pounds in more than 1 week) that points to&nbsp;fluid retention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant swelling in the senior\u2019s feet or ankles\u2014another indicator that the body is retaining fluid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes in the frequency of urination during the day or night, which could mean that the senior\u2019s kidneys are struggling to remove excess fluid from the body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness or extreme fatigue that suggest the heart isn\u2019t pumping effectively and&nbsp;not&nbsp;enough blood&nbsp;is&nbsp;getting to the senior\u2019s body to meet energy demands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent shortness of breath or coughing (even when the senior is lying down) which points to a buildup of fluid in the lungs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n    \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7011","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Care for Congestive Heart Failure - Amada Bellevue<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Amada senior caregivers are trained to identify signs of congestive heart failure.
