How Hospice Helps Patients
With Pulmonary Diseases:
Symptom & Medical Management:
-
Hospice teams help manage shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue, ensuring patients are as comfortable as possible. They provide medications and oxygen therapy to ease breathing difficulties and improve quality of life.
Equipment & Personal Care:
-
Patients receive personalized equipment, such as oxygen concentrators and nebulizers, to meet their specific needs. In addition, aides assist with daily activities, helping patients maintain independence for as long as possible.
Emergency & Clinical Support:
-
Hospice provides a rapid nurse response to prevent unnecessary emergency room visits. The team also coordinates care with physicians to stabilize conditions and manage complications.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
-
Hospice offers counseling and guidance to support patients and loved ones through the challenges of chronic lung disease. Spiritual care helps ease the emotional burden and brings comfort to both patients and families.
Consider hospice care when a loved one...
-
Has a life-limiting lung disease.
-
Experiences shortness of breath at rest or with minimal activity.
-
Requires oxygen most of the day to breathe comfortably.
-
Suffers from frequent infections or hospitalizations.
-
Shows fatigue, weakness, or weight loss that limits daily activities.
-
Needs assistance with basic activities such as walking, eating, or bathing.
-
Chooses to focus on comfort rather than aggressive treatments.
Advanced pulmonary diseases can make every breath a struggle. Hospice care provides comfort, helps patients breathe more easily, and gives loved ones the support and guidance they need, allowing families to focus on meaningful time together and enhancing the patient’s quality of life.
