Specialist tracheostomy care at home for adults
Tracheostomy nurse-led care. Personalised, complex care at home. 25+ years of supporting Leicester
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, nursing care for tracheostomy patients may still be needed to help them breathe comfortably and safely.
At Aspire UK, our compassionate team includes tracheostomy care nurses and trained support workers, providing tracheostomy care for adults so that your loved one can feel safe, comfortable and well supported at home.
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.
What your tracheostomy care plan includes
Tracheostomy care procedures cover a range of different needs to help your loved one stay comfortable. At Aspire UK, our services include:
Daily stoma and 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.
