In today’s stressed-out and fattened-up America, it seems that heart
attacks are becoming more common by the day. One of the biggest factors for
heart attacks is advancing age, because many seniors have a propensity to have
years of plaque build-up in the walls of their heart and surrounding arteries.
When one of these arteries or heart structures gets too overwhelmed
from all the plaque build-up that’s keeping blood from flowing freely through
it, it will rupture in the form of a heart attack.
Heart attacks and cardiovascular diseases in general can be very
frightening for any senior patient, but we at A-1 Home Care can help surviving heart
attack victims get back on their feet—oftentimes literally—with our leading
heart attack care options that extend throughout the Los Angeles and Orange
County communities.
When someone suffers from an initial heart attack, his/her immediate risk for
incurring another rises because the heart is scarred from the first attack, which makes the heart weaker and more susceptible. But A-1 Home Care offers a variety of
different home care options to help make a return heart attack less likely, such as
healthy meal preparation, encouraging increased exercise routines, and helping patients cease existing unhealthy
habits like smoking.
We also offer 24
hour live-in home care services for all patients
who require continual supervision, as well as help with things such as light
housecleaning, personal care and hygiene, and transportation to and from doctor’s
appointments and other existing engagements.

attack is never as likely when you have one of our senior care providers with
