Living well with heart failure at Evangelical Homes - Sterling Heights

Residents and family joined us on our journey toward healthy living with CHF in July. We started off with learning how to use household items to build strength - for example bicep curls with soup cans. We then used the cans to discuss the food label and recommended intake of nutrients, signs and symptoms, and when to call notify the healthcare provider. Residents and family members were engaged in conversation with one another as well as with the RDs. We topped off the session with a sampling of a heart healthy meal from the menu that day. Residents, family members, and even staff enjoyed the session so much, they asked for it to be added as a monthly activity.
