Reduce Re-Hospitalizations For COPD Patients
The change in seasons and cold temperatures can cause COPD symptoms to worsen and potentially result in additional trips to the emergency department.
After discharge from the hospital, up to 20% of COPD patients are readmitted within 30 days.
We are uniquely trained in the management of COPD and can help you reduce re-hospitalizations. UpliftedCare provides support and improves the quality of life for your patients with COPD.

Timing Matters
More Time, More Memories: Our Care Helps Families Stay Together Longer.
Each year, over 100 of our patients benefit from early hospice care, extending their time with family and loved ones by six months or more.
Hospice Care
When that time comes, hospice is there every step of the way with the patient and family as they focus on comfort at the end of life.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a chance for people dealing with life-limiting illness to have relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of dealing with the illness and to have an extra layer of support.
Care Where You Are
Most patients receive hospice care in a private home. Yet did you know that UpliftedCare also provides care to those living in a nursing home, hospital or assisted living?
Complementary Therapies
Support services such as massage therapy, respiratory therapy, music, and pet therapy can play a significant role in enhancing quality of life for those who are ill. From easing discomfort to evoking fond memories, these therapies can heal the body and lift the spirit.
