WHEN THIS LEVEL OF CARE IS NEEDED

Tube and catheter care is designed for individuals who rely on medical devices such as feeding tubes, urinary catheters, or surgical drains. These require proper handling, regular monitoring, and skilled care to prevent complications and ensure they function correctly.

Without appropriate care, issues such as infection, blockage, or improper drainage can occur. Our nurses provide the expertise and attention needed to manage these devices safely and consistently at home.

YOU MAY NEED TUBE & CATHETER CARE IF YOUR LOVED ONE:

• Has a feeding tube (G-tube, PEG, or J-tube)
• Has a Foley or suprapubic catheter
• Has a surgical drain requiring regular emptying or monitoring
• Needs assistance with tube feeding or medication administration
• Is at risk for infection or device-related complications
• Has recently been discharged with tube or catheter care instructions
• Needs ongoing monitoring to ensure proper function
