COPD Support

Care advocates help you manage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a clear plan, organized follow ups, and everyday support so breathing and recovery feel more manageable.

Turn test results into clear daily steps

Understand your diagnosis, inhalers, & action plan

We explain your spirometry and GOLD stage in plain language. Your advocate reviews each inhaler and builds a simple written flare plan with you.

Prevent flare ups & act early

We help you notice triggers and early warning signs like more cough, thicker mucus, or lower oxygen. Your plan spells out when to use rescue meds or call your team.

Care coordination & follow ups

Your advocate connects primary care, pulmonology, pharmacy, and rehab. We help schedule visits, track tests, and keep checklists for refills and next steps.

Oxygen, equipment, & home safety

We guide oxygen evaluation, delivery, and backup supplies. At home we support safety, energy saving, mobility aids, and sleep apnea testing or CPAP setup if needed.

Tame approvals, bills, & coverage questions

Insurance, Medicare, paperwork, & costs

We handle referrals and authorizations for inhalers, oxygen, and rehab. Your advocate explains coverage, checks bills, and looks for ways to cut your costs.

Daily habits & help for caregivers

Lifestyle & caregiver support

We support quitting smoking, nutrition that keeps strength, and safe activity plans. Caregivers get coaching on routines, safe transfers, and what to do during flares.
