Respiratory Therapy

Bellevue Health & Rehabilitation provides individualized respiratory therapy for patients suffering from lung disease and other chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our comprehensive respiratory therapy program provides hope and help. With a team of certified nurses, therapists, and nurse practitioner on-site seven days a week, our patients receive around-the-clock supervision and immediate support whenever needed.

In conjunction with respiratory therapy, individualized physical or occupational therapy may be recommended. Additional treatments may include:

• Nebulizer
• Trillogy
• Oxygen therapy
• Dietary counseling
• Self-care Instructions
• Breathing control techniques
• Education in disease management

Short-term Skilled Nursing Care

With the help of our respiratory therapists, patients with either acute or chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system are able to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Many patients who have respiratory problems will stay at Bellevue Health & Rehabilitation for a short period of time until their breathing has improved. With individualized care from our expert respiratory therapists, these patients are then able to return home.

Long-Term Care

For patients with ongoing breathing disorders, Bellevue Health & Rehabilitation offers long-term care and support. Our on-site certified respiratory therapists provide around-the-clock medical care and supervision. Not only does this provide patients with peace-of-mind and a better quality of life, but it also dramatically reduces hospitalizations and length of future hospital stays.
