A Guiding Light For Your Peace of Mind
Providing catheter or ostomy care at home can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be. By providing expert care, our services are designed to ensure every detail of your loved one’s care is handled with precision and dignity.
Catheter & Ostomy Care At Home
What is Catheter and Ostomy Care?
A catheter is a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine. It is commonly used for individuals with urinary retention, incontinence, nerve-related bladder dysfunction, or following surgery. Catheters must be properly maintained to prevent infections, blockages, and discomfort.
An ostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the abdomen that allows waste to exit the body when normal bowel or bladder function is compromised. Ostomies are needed for conditions such as colorectal cancer, Crohn’s disease, bladder dysfunction, or severe bowel obstruction. Proper ostomy care includes maintaining hygiene around the stoma, ensuring a proper fit for the ostomy appliance, and monitoring for skin irritation or infection.
While catheter and ostomy care address different medical needs, both require meticulous hygiene, skin protection, and infection prevention to ensure comfort and safety
Helpful Tips for Family Caregivers
1. Maintain a Clean Environment – Always wash your hands before and after handling catheters or ostomy supplies. Use gloves when necessary to prevent infections and maintain a sterile area.
2. Monitor for Signs of Infection – Watch for redness, swelling, unusual odors, or changes in urine or stoma output. Early detection of complications can prevent serious health issues.
3. Keep Supplies Organized and Accessible – Ensure you have all necessary supplies on hand—from catheter bags and tubing to ostomy pouches and skin barriers—and store them in a clean, dry place for easy access.
