Heart failure requires daily vigilance to prevent crisis. Your advocate helps track weight, swelling, and breathing changes, recognizing when adjustments are needed before hospitalization becomes necessary. They coordinate quick medication changes with your cardiologist to keep you stable at home.
Heart failure medications are complex and constantly need adjustment. Your advocate ensures you understand each medication's purpose, coordinates changes based on symptoms and labs, and manages insurance coverage for expensive drugs. They help optimize your regimen for the best quality of life.
Avoiding hospitalization with heart failure requires proactive management. Your advocate coordinates heart failure clinic visits, ensures quick response to worsening symptoms, and helps you recognize danger signs. They create action plans that keep you home and healthy instead of in the emergency room.
With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
When medications aren't enough, options like BiV pacemakers, LVADs, or transplant evaluation become necessary. Solace advocates coordinate evaluations for device therapy, navigate the complex transplant listing process, and ensure you understand all options. They manage referrals to advanced heart failure centers, coordinate extensive testing requirements, and support you through major treatment decisions. Your advocate guides you through advanced therapies that can extend and improve your life.
Heart failure requires strict fluid and sodium limits that affect every meal and drink. Solace advocates connect you with cardiac dietitians, help track fluid intake effectively, and find low-sodium options that still taste good. They coordinate nutrition support during poor appetite, manage fluid balance with your medical team, and help family understand dietary needs. Your advocate makes restrictive diets manageable while keeping your heart protected.
Cardiac rehab can improve heart failure symptoms and prevent deterioration, but many patients never access it. Solace advocates navigate insurance approval for cardiac rehab, find programs that accommodate your limitations, and coordinate transportation when needed. They help overcome fears about exercise with heart failure, ensure proper monitoring during activity, and support continued exercise after formal rehab. Your advocate helps you safely strengthen your heart.
Heart failure is a serious condition requiring honest discussions about goals and quality of life. Solace advocates connect you with palliative care for symptom management, help facilitate family discussions about preferences, and ensure your wishes are documented and respected. They coordinate home health services when needed, manage equipment like oxygen or hospital beds, and provide emotional support through difficult times. Your advocate ensures comprehensive care that honors your values while managing heart failure.
