📢🚨Helpful tips from your home health staff:

Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. It's like water flowing through a hose....

HIGH blood pressure (aka Hypertension) is when the pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your arteries' walls and the heart which leads to serious heart damage. Symptoms can include: headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, blurred vision, or chest pain/discomfort.

LOW blood pressure (aka Hypotension) is when the pressure is too low, meaning blood isn't being pushed strong enough through the arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout your body and results in reduced blood flow to all organs resulting in poor circulation overall. Sudden drops in blood pressure can lead to falls. Symptoms can include: increased fatigue, weakness, dizziness, vision changes, and unexplained fainting spells.

Home health skilled nursing can help by regularly monitoring your blood pressure, noticing changes early and promptly seeking treatment for you. Nurses can help manage medications to ensure you understand your medicines and are taking them correctly. This support helps prevent mistakes, improves results and gives peace of mind, promotes safety and independence at home!

Please ask your doctor about a referral!

HOME HEALTH: An Essential Extension of the Care Team!

Home health services help by:
-Monitoring patients after discharge to catch complications early.
-Managing chronic conditions like Heart failure, COPD, Hypertension, Diabetes and many more.
-Providing advanced wound care and medication reconciliation.
-Delivering physical therapy services in the home to help regain strength after illnesses or surgeries.
-Educating patients and caregivers to prevent avoidable hospital re-admissions.

When patients receive skilled care at home, outcomes improve, hospitalizations decrease, and families gain confidence managing care. Home Health is more than a service-it's a critical partner in continuity of care.

For many patients, recovery doesn't just depend on treatment, it depends on support, education and careful monitoring after leaving the hospital after illnesses or surgeries. Sometimes the difference between recovery and returning to the hospital is simply having the right guidance and care at the right time.

HELPFUL TIPS FROM YOUR HOME HEALTH NURSES 😉:

DID YOU KNOW?? 📢📢‼️‼️

DIABETES MELLITUS occurs when your body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce.

INSULIN is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps glucose (sugar) from food enter the body's cells to be used for energy.

Diabetes is typically diagnosed through blood tests such as fasting blood glucose levels, a Hemoglobin A1C lab test or glucose tolerance test.

If left untreated, Diabetes can lead to serious health problems!!

Studies show both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes have genetic components, meaning they can be hereditary, but environmental and lifestyle factors play a significant role!

If you have any symptoms or have family history of Diabetes, it is crucial to let your Doctor know and be tested. It is always better to stay ahead of your health!

We at Parkview Hospital Home Health would love to help you maintain your overall health, monitor your vital signs, help you understand your condition, understand medications and help collaborate with your doctors to ensure you are getting the best care you deserve!

Remember, untreated or undiagnosed Diabetes is very dangerous... we are trained skilled nurses here to help you!
