Emphysema /COPD

Over 100,000 people die in the United State each year from emphysema and COPD. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a devastating lung disease that narrows the airways in the lungs. This decreases the air flow in and out of the lungs. Those with COPD and emphysema can become unable to tend to their own personal needs. Many suffer with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, fatigue and chest infections frequently. These symptoms alone can greatly affect a person’s mobility and leave them very fatigued. Assisted living may be the solution to living a normal lifestyle with COPD. Any activity of daily living that a person finds troubling or overwhelming can be assisted.
