A tracheostomy tube needs regular changing and cleaning to prevent blockage and infection, but the process is delicate and best handled by someone experienced with it. Our nurses perform tracheostomy tube changes at your home, so patients avoid the stress and infection risk of a hospital trip for routine maintenance.
Beyond the tube change itself, our nurses check the stoma site for irritation or infection, clear secretions as needed, and teach family members the basics of suction and stoma care between visits.
Why choose our tracheostomy care
Tube changes are typically needed every 1-4 weeks depending on the tube type — we can set up a recurring schedule so you don't have to call each time.
