Solution to Respiratory Care: Home Care Services

Crisp clean air sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Especially when you combine it with the smell of fall and that chill that makes us think of the holidays.  That sounds wonderful until our elderly friends and family become hospitalized with respiratory problems.  I’m talking about COPD, asthma, pneumonia, the flu and other viral respiratory infections. Asthma becomes even more of a problem as the fall air becomes denser. Respiratory infections often lead to hospitalization. Pneumonia and viral lung infections are painful and sometimes debilitating.
