Living with a Tracheostomy
Our complex care teams are trained specifically to deliver tracheostomy care to support those who have recently been fitted with an airway aid. We can help to ease the stress of managing a tracheostomy at home, including assistance with tracheostomy dressing and tube changes. Plus, if a family member or friend has been helping out, but is unavailable for a short time, we can provide these important duties as part of our respite care service.
The challenges of tracheostomy care at home
The Care Matters specialist care team understand that it can take some time to adapt to a tracheostomy tube. We also appreciate that it can be really daunting to think about airway management and caring for the equipment properly at home, whether on your own or when living with someone.
With the essential support of nursing-led care from our Care Matters specialist team, we can provide the reassurance you need, and boost your confidence to support independent living. We help those in need to live as full a life as possible, while benefitting from our assistance in the comfort of their own home.

Our Nursing team will work alongside our carers to ensure competency in every clinical requirement of specialist care – including tracheostomy care, correct fit of tubes and emergency management measures.
Every aspect of our support services will be included in a personalised tracheostomy care plan. We will encourage full involvement with you, or your loved one, and close family as part of this process.
