Older adults with Respiratory problems often struggle with getting comfortable and need support to live happily and not struggle. It is important to prioritize comfort and cleanliness with respiratory patients because their lungs and airways are sensitive to environments where the air may be polluted with toxins, dirt, dust, and much more.
We have provided a great list of 12 products that are perfect for adults with respiratory conditions that will keep them healthy, happy, and best of all comfortable!

We offer a wide range of adaptive clothing from shirts, pants, dresses, and much more! The soft, breathable, comfortable material is ideal for older adults and patients that have any sort of respiratory condition. Clean and comfortable clothes are essential for patients who face respiratory challenges because clean and breathable clothes mean fewer chances of breathing problems! Here are some of our breathable products that are comfortable for patients with respiratory conditions!
Nebulizers - nebulizers are a great product for older adults who may find it difficult to breathe while sleeping or may feel stuffy. Nebulizers convert liquid medicine and send mist through the inhaler mask and making it easier to breathe.
Air Fresheners - Often the quality of air can affect a person’s breathing and sometimes it might make it harder for them to breathe properly if the air quality is poor, so an air freshener is a perfect item to fill their air with good smell and makes it easier to breathe.
A Grabber - Most older adults may simply feel out of breath when picking up things from the ground or hard-to-reach places, so a grabber is a perfect item that will help them grab things from hard-to-reach places
