Welcome back to the Cozy Lung Lounge Podcast! In Episode 11, we’re diving into one of the most important—but often overlooked—parts of chronic lung disease management: caregiving. Whether you’re a patient who needs help or a caregiver supporting a loved one, this episode is packed with practical tips, honest conversations, and valuable resources. Your hosts Gina Hoots, Kelly Welton-Lewis, and Amy Sheldon break it all down with warmth, humor, and real-life wisdom. 
Why It Matters Behind every patient is a team—and caregivers are often the unsung heroes. They help with everything from medications to meals, from navigating appointments to offering emotional support. But caregivers need care too. That’s why we created this guide—for both sides of the caregiving relationship.

Daily Duties – Medication and symptom management, doctor visits, physical activity, and even hygiene and nutrition. How to Choose One – Great options include Care.com, Home Instead, and Aging Care. Don’t be afraid to make a change if it’s not the right fit. For Caregivers – How to stay connected, set boundaries, and build your support network. Community Support – Learn how groups like the American Lung Association and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation can help. Family Caregiving Tips – Designate roles, set routines, and use tools like Google Calendar to stay organized.
