We offer care and support to help you manage the impact of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). If you or a loved one is struggling with the symptoms of COPD, or with managing daily tasks on top of your health and wellbeing, we are here to help.

Our highly trained carers can support you to manage symptoms of breathlessness or a flare up, while helping you to stay on top of daily life. With home care for COPD, you can benefit from the reassurance that a friendly face is checking in, all while enjoying the independence of staying in your own home.

What does home care for COPD involve?

COPD is a progressive condition and some people may not even realise they have it at first. Support for COPD will look different for each individual, depending on the severity of their symptoms and their personal interests and goals.

Support to manage the symptoms of COPD

Our experienced carers can help with breathing techniques and creating a calm atmosphere to help you feel as comfortable as possible. They can also support with any medication requirements recommended by your doctor.

A holistic approach to wellbeing

Our aim is to help you enjoy the highest possible quality of life and feel fitter for longer. Our carers offer gentle encouragement to get active on your terms, whether that’s doing rehabilitation exercises, or simply sitting out in the garden. Knowing support is on hand can build confidence to take on new challenges.

Sensitive personal care

If you need help with personal care such as washing, dressing, or using the toilet, a home carer can provide dignified, discreet support.

A helping hand around the house

If COPD is causing you to experience breathlessness, it is important not to over-exert yourself. Our carers can help take the pressure off household tasks such as laundry and vacuuming, and can prepare nutritious meals too.

Compassionate companionship

We aim to match our clients with carers who are a great personality fit, so their visits will truly brighten your day. Whether it’s someone to take part in your favourite hobbies, or simply a friendly face to chat with, our carers are here for you.

FAQs

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, is the name given to a group of conditions that affect the lungs. COPD causes breathing difficulties that can impact daily life, although in most cases it can be managed with appropriate treatment.

Common symptoms of COPD include:

  • Shortness of breath
  • A chesty cough
  • Frequent chest infections
  • Wheezing
  • Low energy
  • Unintended weight loss

The best way to support someone with COPD is to ask them how you can help, and really listen to understand their needs and concerns. Managing a long-term condition can take a toll on a person’s mental health, so keep an eye on their wellbeing. If your loved one is trying to make lifestyle changes to manage COPD, you could consider doing the same to support them. You could also offer to help around the house to relieve some of the physical strain.
