Tracheostomy & Ventilation Care
Comprehensive care for tracheostomy management, ventilator support, and chest physiotherapy. Our skilled Registered Nurses provide expert respiratory care in the comfort of your home.
What is a Tracheostomy?
A tracheostomy is a surgical opening in the front of the neck into the windpipe (trachea). A tube is placed through this opening to provide an airway and allow breathing.
Tracheostomies may be temporary or permanent, and are often needed for people with spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, or those requiring long-term ventilator support.
Our team provides comprehensive tracheostomy care, including routine maintenance, emergency management, and support for ventilator-dependent individuals.
