For seniors who have issues swallowing and chewing, or are simply unable at the moment to eat properly, feeding through a G-tube may be their best, and sometimes their only option. Patients who have dementia and cancer also must often resort to feeding tubes. Feeding through a G-tube can be achieved by a simple operation called percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. If your loved one feeds this way, and you are not able to care for them, you need to contact us at Assured Home Health Care, LLC
The most important reason you need to consider trained staff from Assured Home Health Care, LLC is that there is a possibility of bleeding, infection, or some other complication. In addition to monitoring the wound, skilled nurses from our agency will make sure to change the dressing, clean around the injury, and ensure the tube is positioned correctly.
Most patients who are using G-tube care need help with pain medication in addition to food, as their wound will feel sore for some time. Our skilled nurses are trained not only to administer medication, but also to prepare and manage food, and to teach family members how to care for and use the feeding tube.
In case you need to fix or replace your family member’s tube, our trained staff is here to help. The most common issues that a patient with a G-tube can encounter include:
- Tube coming out or getting dislodged
- Tube being blocked so that food can’t pass through
- Leaks appearing around the tube
Regardless of the intensity of care needed and issues that arise, we assure you that contacting and hiring Assured Home Health Care, LLC at West Chester, Ohio is the best move for you and your loved ones if they require G-tube care.
