Tracheostomy Care at Victoria Care Centre
At Victoria Care Centre, we provide dedicated tracheostomy care for residents from diverse medical backgrounds. Our specialised tracheostomy care teams focus on meticulous attention to detail, continuous monitoring, and effective communication with NHS providers, all of which aim to achieve optimal health outcomes.
Assessment & Monitoring
Our Tracheostomy team is committed to delivering excellent care, starting with a comprehensive assessment process. Our experienced respiratory physiotherapists and speech and language therapists evaluate each resident to determine their individual care needs. Following assessment, residents benefit from consistent monitoring of the tracheostomy site, respiratory status, and overall comfort. With 24/7 nursing care and regular therapist reviews, our nursing staff is equipped to handle emergency situations, complications, and routine procedures with the utmost efficacy.
Active Management
Our top priorities are the comfort and safety of our residents. We ensure that tracheostomy tubes are properly positioned and aligned to enhance respiratory function. Residents can expect scheduled suctioning, diligent attention to tube maintenance, and timely replacements.
Therapeutic Support
Residents receiving tracheostomy care at Victoria Care Centre have access to various therapeutic interventions. Our skilled speech therapists provide guidance on adaptive communication techniques for those with speech impairments or communication difficulties. Furthermore, our facility is equipped to support recovery from respiratory complications, offering a complete range of services, including chest percussion, oxygen therapy, nebuliser treatments, cough assist machines, tracheal suctioning, and respiratory muscle training.
