Comprehensive tracheostomy care at home: Your guide to safe, specialist support
Gentle support tailored to your needs.
Breathe easier with trusted home support
Has your loved one recently had a tracheostomy? Whether they’re coming home from the hospital or further along in their recovery, they may still need extra support to breathe comfortably and safely.
At Aspire UK, our compassionate team is specially trained in tracheostomy care, providing the attentive, respectful support your loved one deserves.
What is a tracheostomy?
A tracheostomy is a small opening, known as a stoma, made at the front of the neck to help a person breathe more easily. A tube is gently inserted into this opening to allow air to pass through the windpipe.
This is often recommended when breathing becomes difficult due to blockages in the mouth, nose, or throat. Some common reasons for a tracheostomy are:
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Long-term ventilation
- Severe trauma
- Airway obstruction
Who needs it?
A tracheostomy may be needed at any age, depending on a person’s health and individual needs. This can include:
- People living with chronic respiratory conditions.
- Those recovering from surgery.
- Individuals with progressive illnesses.
Aspire UK’s services include:
Daily stoma & tube care
Our experienced team provides gentle care each day. This includes cleaning and dressing the stoma, checking the tube placement, and ensuring everything is secure and comfortable.
Airway management
We manage the airway with care, balancing suctioning to clear blockages and using humidification to maintain comfort. If an emergency arises, we respond quickly to help your loved one breathe with ease.
Infection prevention
We utilise strict hygiene practices, thorough sterilisation, and close monitoring practices. These help to reduce the risk of infection and protect your loved one, giving you peace of mind.
Family training
We’re here to support you, too. Our team offers training and guidance to help family members understand what to watch for and how to feel more confident in providing care at home.

Your tracheostomy care questions answered
How do you handle emergency blockages?
In the event of a blockage, our trained staff act quickly and calmly. They’ll assess the cause and suction the airway as needed. If the issue isn’t resolved, they may replace the tube to restore airflow.
If further support is required, they will contact emergency services to ensure a fast response.
Can care be funded by the NHS or a local authority?
Yes. Depending on your circumstances, care may be fully or partially funded by the NHS or your local authority. We’re happy to help guide you through the process and connect you with the right support teams.
What training do caregivers receive?
Our caregivers receive comprehensive tracheostomy care training, including airway management, suctioning, humidification, infection prevention, emergency response, and ongoing support techniques.
We ensure every caregiver is confident, capable, and compassionate in delivering safe, person-centred care.
