Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Program

Frontier Home Health Care Congestive Heart Failure Program

The goal of Frontier Home Health’s Heart Failure program is to improve your ability to self-manage and to be as active as possible. Through education, support and collaboration with your physician, we can help you manage symptoms associated with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
Our education materials and self-monitoring tools are the same materials used by your community medical providers. We visit with you in your home and provide the support you need to manage your condition.

Our CHF Program goals are to help you:

  • Become knowledgeable about CHF
  • Feel confident about managing CHF symptoms
  • Develop good dietary and self-care habits
  • Be more active and feel less anxious
  • Avoid hospitalization

How our CHF Program Works For You

Once we receive a referral from your doctor, we will arrange to make a home visit within 48 hours, unless you or your doctor request otherwise. You will be assigned an RN Case Manager who will assess your condition, consult with your physician and adapt the CHF Plan of Care specifically to meet your needs. In addition to nursing care, your CHF Plan of Care may involve services from a physical and/or occupational therapist, a social worker or home health aide. Your RN Case Manager and other assigned members of the home health team will make home visits to work with you and will continuously assess your condition. Your physician will be kept informed of your progress and consulted as needed if any issues arise.

CHF Program services include:

  • Education: Education and self-monitoring tools
  • Monitoring and Support: Monitoring of vital signs, weight, food and fluid intake
  • Medication and Symptom Management: Medication education, monitoring of response to medications, effectiveness, and side effects
  • Discharge Plan: Preparation for discharge from service and phone support for 12 weeks following discharge

Contact your local Frontier Home Health branch to learn if our CHF program can benefit your CHF diagnosis.
