Respiratory Care Services
Four of our centers offer comprehensive respiratory care and ventilator management services. Our program is headed by board-certified pulmonologists, and care is provided by a team of specially-trained nurses and respiratory therapists, who are on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Programs are provided in units that feature spacious, semi-private rooms. The use of portable ventilators is encouraged so patients can remain as active as possible and enjoy free access throughout the centers.
SERVICES INCLUDE:
- Ventilator support for residents who require long-term ventilator support and care
- Aggressive ventilator weaning
- Pre-ventilation management including Bipap and CPAP
- Tracheostomy management including changing and maintaining tracheostomy tubes
- Oxygen therapy, titration, and secretion mobilization, including cough-a-lator and percussion therapy
- Capnograph and pulse oximetry
WHAT RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES SAY ABOUT OUR CENTERS
"My stay at Linwood Care Center made all the difference in helping me recover after my hospitalization. I was back on my feet just three weeks after triple bypass surgery and I feel better every day."
- Adam M.
"I would like to thank the nurses, the physical therapists, and everyone at Meadow View who worked so hard to help me come back after I broke my hip last March. I didn’t think I would ever be able to live on my own again, but now you should see me with my cane – I can even drive and do my own shopping!"
- Mary L.
