Ventilator Program


At Ciena Healthcare, we know the importance of a supportive, safe environment for individuals in recovery who need ventilator support as part of their rehabilitation journey. Our Ventilator Care Program provides specialized care to meet the unique needs of those requiring respiratory assistance.

Our on-site respiratory therapists and specialized capabilities allow us to address the unique challenges and requirements associated with ventilator care, optimizing each guest’s respiratory function and overall well-being.

Our Ventilator Program Provides Peace of Mind for Families and Guests in Recovery

Many rehabilitation guests may need ventilator support due to various medical conditions that impact their breathing and lung function. For some, a ventilator may be needed temporarily while they recover, while others may require longer-term respiratory assistance. Our Respiratory Program is appropriate for individuals with primary respiratory diagnoses such as:

 Chronic bronchitis

 Pneumonia

 Emphysema

 Adult respiratory distress syndrome

 Peripheral vascular disease

 Respiratory complications associated with stroke, cardiovascular disease or cardiac surgery

 Post-surgical recovery

 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Our ventilator program at Ciena Healthcare is designed to address these complex needs, minimizing unplanned hospital readmissions and offering peace of mind to families and people in recovery.
