Cardiac Rehabilitation

St. John's Home Health Services has developed a cardiac rehabilitation program to help patients and families with heart disease recover and return to optimal levels of functioning.

A nurse with training and experience in cardiac rehabilitation works with the physician, patient and family to develop an exercise program suited to the individual patient.

Home cardiac rehab services include:

• Assessment of all systems with specific focus on cardiac and respiratory care.
• Personal exercise training using safe exercise protocols, including access to cardiac monitoring.
• Education about medication, risk factors for heart disease, lifestyle modifications, nutrition and stress management.
• Communication with outpatient cardiac rehab programs as needed for a complete continuum of care.
• Registered nurse on call 24 hours a day.

Other home care services available to patients include:

• Infusion therapy
• Pain management
• Venipuncture
