Pulmonary Care
AseraCare Home Health’s pulmonary disease management program and
home health services strive to ensure you or your loved one
receives the care plan best suited to his or her individual needs.
Our goals are to significantly improve your ability to manage your
condition within the home setting; reduce visits to the physician’s
office and emergency room; provide early recognition of appropriate
signs and symptoms to allow for faster and easier treatment by a
physician if needed; and improve your overall health by controlling
risk factors.
Education and experience are an important element of a
successful pulmonary disease home health program. As a leading home
healthcare provider, we recognize that patients with pulmonary
disease need guidance specific to their management of COPD, asthma,
bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia or lung cancer.
Each visit to your home includes a comprehensive pulmonary
assessment and education regarding best practice for safe home
management of your condition, medication and dietary regimen, as
well as proper use of oxygen, CPAP and respiratory equipment.
In addition, our home health nursing staff and clinicians
will:
- Educate and train you and your loved ones about various facets
of pulmonary disease
- Develop and assist you with a customized home health and
exercise plan
- Monitor vital signs and assess you for any early signs of
infection
- Conduct pulse monitoring
- Provide rehabilitative therapy to assist you with functional
limitations and energy conservation techniques
- Actively involve you in managing you or your loved one’s
condition
