Holistic Care

At AirCARE1, our patients’ emotional and physical well-being is our top priority. To meet this objective, we strive to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for our patients and their families on our flights. Our unique approach focuses on using holistic methods combined with competent and caring medical services to provide a calming, refreshing experience that promotes healing.

The Importance of Holistic Care on Medical Flights

When it comes to improving health, speeding up recovery, and ensuring overall well-being, a holistic approach will provide the long-lasting results patients need. AirCARE1 crew members attend to every aspect of a patient’s health to ensure their safety and comfort.

Some benefits of supporting a patient and promoting their well-being include:

  • Slowing breathing patterns to promote calmness.
  • Stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal.
  • Reducing stress hormones that would otherwise lengthen illness.

By targeting the whole person, holistic care also boosts emotional health, helping patients feel secure and hopeful for a future of relief and healing. The more comfortable a patient is, the more likely they are to recover quickly and enjoy better health outcomes.

Comfort is vital to healing, especially when transport is necessary for continued care. We are intimately familiar with the intricacies and worries of transportation for medical assistance, which is why we are dedicated to creating enjoyable experiences that put our patients at ease throughout the trip.

Our Holistic Air Ambulance Options

At AirCARE1, we believe in using an empathetic approach to care. We use several techniques to promote comfort and relaxation on our flights and create a restorative environment for our patients.

The Comfort of Silence

When a patient is transported by flight, noise from an aircraft can prove stressful. We address this challenge by providing noise-canceling headsets to offer relief and relaxation. Taking this extra step helps create a more comfortable and peaceful experience for those in our care.

Noise-canceling headphones can form a personalized quiet space for patients, helping them focus on a sense of inner calm. These serene moments promote better health and a smoother healing journey for our patients.

The Power Of Music

The right music has a proven benefit in improving emotional and physical health, especially in stressful situations. Therapeutic music stimulates the brain and creates a relaxation response throughout the body, encouraging:

  • Soothed respiration
  • Reduced heart rate
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Relaxed muscle tension
  • Regulated mood

Music can help patients process emotions and focus on positive thoughts throughout their flight. We provide carefully crafted calming playlists to help patients ease stress during transport and improve their sense of overall well-being.

The Human Touch

It may sound simple, but compassionate human touch offers a powerful connection and can help patients feel more secure. During transport, we provide soothing hand massages as a way to connect with our patients and reduce their stress. Massages also support healing by:

  • Relieving pain
  • Improving circulation
  • Increasing range of motion
  • Easing swelling
  • Promoting sleep

The Sense of Smell

Aromatherapy during a hand massage further enhances the patient’s experience by utilizing the powerful sense of smell. Scents stimulate the limbic system of the brain which regulates heart rate, blood pressure, stress, memory, hormone balance, and breathing.

We take time to infuse towelettes with pleasant scents such as lavender, eucalyptus, and rosemary to offer a more relaxing experience. For patients sensitive to smell, we use unscented lotions during the massage to ensure a comfortable experience.

Strength of Conversation

Personal, human connection is an essential part of our holistic care. We strive to help patients feel comfortable and relaxed on their flight by getting to know them and their unique situations so that we can meet their needs.

We believe conversing with patients is one of the most effective ways to provide support and promote a sense of trust and security. Through genuine, heartfelt conversation, our staff tunes into the needs and concerns of patients to help them find peace and relief on their flight.
