Pulmonary Services
Philosopy
Broomall Rehabilitation
and Nursing Center is committed to delivering quality pulmonary
care and rehabilitative services to patients of all ages with complex
but stable medical and nursing needs. The technological
capabilities and professional support offered ensure the provision of
quality care, and a cost-effective continuation of pulmonary services
initiated in the acute care setting.
Broomall Rehabilitation
and Nursing Center’s Pulmonary Services support the goal of maximizing
the resident’s level of independence and autonomy. The resident’s
participation in the decision-making process concerning healthcare
treatment and goals promotes an enhanced quality of life, regardless of
condition or prognosis.
Treatment Categories
Pulmonary patients receive post-acute recovery care at all levels, in a
variety of treatment categories. We do not provide ventilator
care but do provide care to residents who have recently been weaned
from ventilator dependency.
