Easy breathing doesn’t seem like something a person ever notices. Until the one day that taking a breath becomes difficult. There are many conditions that can inhibit respiratory functions. These can include chronic lung diseases, Bronchitis, and Asthma. There are more than 17 million people affected by these diseases that inhibit daily life. We understand that many people are always living with shortness of breath and other breathing issues. While slowing down the effects of the disease, our trained nursing staff is here to help you and your loved ones breathe easier.
Good respiratory care improves the lives of residents suffering from respiratory diseases. As we get older, many people become susceptible to developing illnesses. Mostly, respiratory illnesses are due to a weakened immune system.
Your loved ones can suffer from common cold, flu, or pneumonia, to name a few. With these diseases, it gets more difficult to breathe. Therefore, quality of life is also affected. Respiratory diseases are quite common. At Jefferson City Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center our staff plays a crucial role in improving our residents breathing.
