Versailles Health Care Center
Some things
take your breath away, others give it back
Versailles Health Care Center will be celebrating National Pulmonary
Rehabilitation Week March 13th through the 19th. Through this
year’s theme “Some Things Take Your Breath Away, Others Give it Back”,
Versailles Health Care Center will promote awareness about the role of
pulmonary rehabilitation in enhancing the quality of life of
individuals with lung diseases. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a
multidisciplinary and comprehensive intervention for patients with
pulmonary function symptoms. These patients often have decreased
daily life activities. Integrating monitored exercise, lifestyle
modification, diet and behavioral health services, pulmonary
rehabilitation is designed to reduce symptoms, provide an enhanced
quality of life for patients and reduce health care costs by
stabilizing and managing the disease. Pulmonary rehabilitation
professionals are the link between the physician and ongoing patient
assessment and care. Pulmonary rehabilitation fills the gap
between hospital discharges and physician visits. Patients who
complete Pulmonary Rehabilitation typically make long-term lifestyle
changes decisions in nutrition, medications and exercise.
The Rehab Clinic at Versailles Health Care Center Inpatient and
Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program incorporates a professional
Pulmonary Strengthening Program, develops individualized therapeutic
breathing exercises designed to strengthen your lungs while maximizing
your oxygen intake with physical movements, and works directly with
your physicians to improve your respiratory health care needs.
VHCC’s Pulmonary Rehab team members are experts in providing quality
care in Pulmonary Strengthening, decreasing oxygen dependence,
supervising CPAP and BiPAP requirements, and providing professional
Trach Care.
Versailles Health Care Center also collaborates with the Pulmonary
Rehabilitation Specialists at Wayne HealthCare to provide pulmonary
services at VHCC. The Wayne HealthCare Pulmonary Specialists and
Versailles Health Care Center Team provide high level pulmonary
services to the patients in the community. As part of the
partnership, the Wayne HealthCare Respiratory Therapists are on-site
weekly at Versailles Health Care Center, work in conjunction with
Versailles Health Care Center staff to evaluate and assess VHCC
patients for respiratory care, and are available to act as a resource
for questions concerning respiratory care.
No matter your starting point for Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Versailles
Health Care Center is prepared to guide you on your path to using your
lungs more efficiently. The Rehab Department at VHCC is happy to
assist you in getting your physician’s orders to receive Pulmonary
Services and to verify covered benefits through your insurance
