Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic condition where body fluids are not cycled through the bloodstream due to failure of the heart muscles. Allegiance Home Health recognizes Congestive Heart Failure is the leading cause of hospitalizations for people 65 years of age and older. Home health care can frequently be used to monitor and manage the disease, with the goal of preventing or shortening hospital stays associated with symptoms.
Symptoms associated:Â
