Cardiac Rehabilitation

Post-Surgery Recovery and Medical Supervision

At Ciena Healthcare, we know that the post-surgery recovery period is delicate and requires close supervision. Our experienced medical team, including doctors, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists, provides the necessary care to ensure a safe and smooth recovery. Key aspects of our post-surgical cardiac care services include:

• Monitoring Vital Signs: Continuous tracking of heart rate, blood pressure, and other essential indicators to prevent complications.
• Pain Management: Monitoring discomfort levels and administering appropriate pain relief and to ensure guest or resident comfort.
• Medication Management: Assisting rehabilitation guests and residents manage prescribed medications, including blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and other heart medications.

Customized Exercise Plans

A significant part of cardiac rehabilitation is the introduction of safe, supervised exercise routines. At Ciena Healthcare, we can help rehabilitation guests and long-term care residents adhere to individualized exercise programs based on their physical capabilities and medical condition. Our team can coordinate with physical therapists to ensure that prescribed exercise routines are adhered to during recovery. Common components of a cardiac recovery exercise program include:

• Aerobic Exercises: Light cardiovascular exercises, like walking and cycling, to improve heart function and endurance.
• Strength Training: Light resistance exercises to build muscle and support overall fitness.
• Flexibility Workouts: Gentle stretches to improve range of motion and reduce muscle tension.

Nutritional Guidance for Heart Health

Diet plays a crucial role in heart health, especially after surgery. We work with dietitians to provide personalized meal plans and nutritional counseling to help residents and rehabilitation guests adopt heart-healthy eating habits after heart surgery or cardiac events.

• Low-Sodium Diets: To reduce blood pressure and prevent fluid retention.
• Balanced Diets: Rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to support overall cardiovascular health.
• Education on Portion Control: To help manage weight and prevent strain on the heart.

Risk Factor Management and Lifestyle Modifications

A key goal of cardiac rehabilitation is to reduce the risk of future heart issues. At Ciena Healthcare, our rehabilitation specialists help residents and recovering guests identify and manage risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and smoking.

• Smoking Cessation Support: For residents and short-term rehab guests who smoke, we offer counseling and resources to quit smoking.
• Stress Management: Teaching residents and guests relaxation techniques and coping strategies to manage stress, which can impact heart health.
• Education on Heart Disease: Helping residents and guests understand their condition and the importance of adhering to a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Emotional and Psychological Support

Recovering from heart surgery can be emotionally challenging, and many people experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or fear after a serious heart event. At Ciena Healthcare, we provide holistic support that includes mental and emotional care to promote a full recovery.

• Counseling Services: Access to mental health professionals who can provide individual or group counseling sessions.
• Peer Support Groups: Opportunities for residents and guests to share their experiences and offer mutual encouragement.
• Family Involvement: Including family members in the recovery process to foster a supportive home environment.

Long-Term Recovery and Maintenance

Cardiac rehabilitation is not just about the immediate post-surgery recovery—it is also about ensuring long-term health and productive lifestyle modifications. Ciena Healthcare emphasizes continued care and monitoring even after short-term nursing guests and long-term care residents have completed the initial rehabilitation phase. We strive to provide them with the tools they need to maintain their recovery plans.
