In recognition of Pulmonary Health Week, we're proud to highlight the specialized care provided through our Ventilator Care Program.
Our team takes an aggressive, multidisciplinary approach to ventilator rehabilitation, helping residents work toward greater independence by reducing or eliminating dependence on a ventilator whenever possible. Each resident receives an individualized respiratory care plan that may include physical, occupational, and speech therapy to support recovery and strength.
For those who require long-term ventilator support, our program is designed to provide expert care, comfort, and quality of life every day.
Program highlights include:
• Four levels of pulmonary care: ventilator, tracheostomy, short-term, and long-term pulmonary care
• Respiratory therapist on staff 24/7
• On-site pulmonology oversight
• An "Out of Bed" philosophy encouraging residents to join meals, therapy, and activities
• Support groups for residents and families led by social workers
• A dedicated unit with a therapy gym, dining areas, lounges, and Wi-Fi
During Pulmonary Health Week, we celebrate the clinical expertise and compassionate care that help residents breathe easier and live more fully.
