coronary artery calcium score

What Is the Life Expectancy With a High Calcium Score? (CAC Score Risks Explained)

By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care • July 15, 2025
What is the Life Expectancy with a High Calcium Score? (CAC Score Risk Explained) According to Mayo Clinic "a coronary calcium scan is a special computerized tomography (CT) scan of the heart. It looks for calcium deposits in the heart arteries. A buildup of calcium can narrow the arteries and reduce blood flow to the heart. A coronary calcium scan may show coronary artery disease before you have symptoms. Coronary calcium scan results can help determine the risk of heart attacks or strokes. Results from the scan may be used to plan or change treatment for coronary artery disease." The University of Maryland Medical Center states "the coronary arteries are the vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Plaque — made of fat, calcium and other substances — can build up and narrow or close the arteries. To detect this build-up, your physician may order cardiac calcium scoring — a test that is also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, a heart scan or calcium score." Understanding what a coronary calcium score means is essential for taking control of your heart health—especially if you're at risk for coronary artery disease or already managing early warning signs. But what does a high calcium score really indicate about your life expectancy? Is it possible to live a long, healthy life with severe coronary calcification? In the sections below, we’ll break down exactly what your calcium score says about your future, how to lower your risk, what foods to avoid, and how home care can support you or your loved one in managing cardiovascular health at home. Keep reading to get clear, expert-backed answers to the most common questions about CAC scores, life expectancy, and what to do next.
high blood pressure correlates to dementia

Is There a Correlation Between High Blood Pressure and Dementia?

By Brian Callahan 7 Day Home Care • July 9, 2025
Is There a Correlation Between High Blood Pressure and Dementia? High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for developing dementia, including both vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. When blood pressure remains elevated over time, it damages the delicate blood vessels in the brain, reducing blood flow and increasing the risk of strokes, microbleeds, and white matter lesions—all of which are associated with cognitive decline. Studies show that unmanaged hypertension, especially in midlife, significantly increases the likelihood of developing dementia later in life by impairing brain structure and function. Chronic high blood pressure can also accelerate memory loss, confusion, and other symptoms in those already diagnosed with dementia. Fortunately, high blood pressure is a modifiable condition, and lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, stress reduction, and proper medical management can dramatically lower dementia risk. For seniors and their families, understanding the connection between hypertension and brain health is essential for prevention, early intervention, and long-term care planning.

Assignment of Benefits for Long-Term Care Insurance

June 23, 2025
What is an Assignment of Benefits for Long Term Care Insurance? An Assignment of Benefits (AOB) for long-term care insurance is a legal arrangement that allows a policyholder to authorize a licensed home care agency to bill the insurance company directly for covered services, eliminating the need for the client or family to pay upfront and seek reimbursement. This streamlined billing process helps families avoid the stress and delay often associated with submitting claims, while ensuring care can begin without financial barriers. AOB is especially valuable for seniors receiving home health aide services, personal care, or live-in care, as it reduces out-of-pocket costs and administrative burden. At 7 Day Home Care, we work directly with all major long-term care insurance providers—including American Heritage, Brighthouse, CNA, Genworth, John Hancock, Lincoln Financial, Mutual of Omaha, New York Life, Northwestern Mutual, NYSUT-HealthSmart, and UNUM—to verify policy benefits, complete all necessary documentation, and manage the entire claims process, allowing families to focus on what matters most: high-quality, uninterrupted care at home.
