Tracheostomy Care

How Tracheostomy Care Works at Ciena Healthcare

At Ciena Healthcare, we provide tracheostomy care as part of a personalized care plan designed to address the unique needs of each resident and short-term rehab guest.

• Thorough Assessment and Planning: We work closely with medical professionals to assess the resident’s needs and create a care plan tailored to their condition and preferences.
• Daily Maintenance: Trained nursing staff perform routine tracheostomy care, including cleaning the tracheostomy site, changing dressings, and ensuring the tracheostomy tube remains clear and functional.
• Monitoring and Safety: Residents with tracheostomies are closely monitored for any signs of infection, irritation, or complications. Early detection ensures timely intervention.
• Emergency Preparedness: Our staff is trained to respond promptly to any tracheostomy-related emergencies, such as tube blockages or accidental dislodgment.
• Holistic Support: Beyond physical care, we provide emotional and social support to help residents adapt to living with a tracheostomy.

Supporting Residents with Tracheostomies

Our focus is on creating an environment where residents with tracheostomies feel safe, supported, and valued. We provide services to enhance their quality of life, including:

• Nutritional Support: Collaboration with dietitians to address any dietary modifications or challenges related to tracheostomy care.
• Social Engagement: Encouraging participation in activities and fostering connections within the community to promote emotional well-being.

Transitioning Residents to Independent Breathing

For some residents and short-term rehabilitation guests, a tracheostomy may be a temporary solution during recovery. Our rehabilitative care team is skilled in supporting residents who are transitioning back to independent breathing. This process may involve:

• Weaning Off Ventilation: Gradual reduction of ventilator support to strengthen respiratory muscles.
• Tube Removal and Site Healing: Coordinating with healthcare providers to safely remove the tracheostomy tube and facilitate recovery.
