Stoma care
Stoma care assistance
Living with a stoma can undoubtedly be a life-changing experience. Whether surgically created due to a medical condition or trauma, a stoma involves diverting part of the digestive or urinary system to an opening in the abdominal wall. While this procedure may initially appear daunting, with proper stoma care, individuals can regain control of their lives and live well.
Our caregivers provide both practical and emotional assistance
to help improve the individuals quality of life.
How we assist people who need stoma care
Caregivers at Valour Healthcare play a crucial role in providing support and assistance to individuals with stomas, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. Stoma care involves the regular cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring of stomas, which are artificial openings made in the body for various medical reasons, such as in the case of ostomies or tracheostomies. Our caregivers are responsible for performing a range of tasks such as:
- maintaining hygiene
- regularly change and empty stoma appliances
- monitoring and addressing any signs of complications or issues related to the stoma.
This is done to ensure that stomas remain healthy and individuals feel comfortable.
