Understanding Heart Disease

What families in Camden County need to know

Heart disease covers coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and post-cardiac-event recovery. Older adults with heart disease benefit substantially from at-home support that manages daily medication complexity, dietary restrictions, and activity limits.

Camden County includes the Camden waterfront and suburban Cherry Hill/Voorhees corridor; Virtua and Cooper Health dominate the local hospital market. For heart disease care specifically, Camden County families benefit from proximity to Virtua Voorhees Hospital, which serves as the county's primary acute-care and discharge-coordination anchor.

Post-hospital discharge coordination: When a Camden County senior is discharged after a heart disease-related admission, private-pay home care can typically start within 24-48 hours. Virtua Voorhees Hospital's case management team works directly with local premium home care providers to arrange coverage before the person arrives home.
Daily support

Care intensity in Camden County: Care intensity ranges from 4-8 hours/day for stable outpatients to 24-hour coverage for the first 4 weeks after a cardiac hospitalization or ventricular device placement.

Safety focus: Post-discharge weight gain of 3+ pounds in 3 days signals fluid retention and requires immediate physician contact for CHF patients.
