November marks COPD Awareness Month 2025…
A time to shine a light on a lung condition many families mistake for “just getting older, or even asthma.”
If your loved one has breathing difficulties, a persistent cough, or frequent chest infections, it might not just be age, it could be Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
What to watch for in older adults:
✔️ Shortness of breath doing normal activities
✔️ A persistent “smoker’s cough” with phlegm
✔️ More frequent chest infections
✔️ Ongoing wheezing or tightness in the chest
You don’t have to face this alone. At Ask Care, our carers support families with:
• Help at home so your loved one can breathe easier
• Assistance with routines, inhaler reminders and safe movement
• Companionship and reassurance when day-to-day tasks feel harder
📍 We support families across Ilford, Redbridge, Barking, Dagenham, Waltham Forest & Epping
📩 DM us today to learn how we can help your loved one stay safe, comfortable and supported at home
