The very latest vent care technology combined with a preeminent medical staff dramatically improves the lives of patients with pulmonary disease or other respiratory problems in Centers Vent Care Units. Our skilled nursing facilities with ventilator units offer 24/7 care and comfort.
Our highly regarded ventilator care program is led by board-certified pulmonologists and a team of specially trained registered nurses. Together, we offer an array of comprehensive ventilator care services at our facilities.
Our program is staffed 24 hours a day by licensed therapists, who craft personalized care plans for each patient. Ventilator care services include pain management, infection prevention, suction administration, airway management, and more. When possible, we aim to wean patients off ventilators.
Our continuing specialized care and comprehensive services for ventilator unit patients include ongoing family education and support, as well as post-discharge assistance and follow-up, reducing the risk of future complications.
When Ms. Josephs was admitted to the Triboro Center vent unit, she was in recovery from a severe case of COVID-19. She was on a feeding tube, a trach tube, and a ventilator. She was confused and disoriented, and her muscle control was minimal, unable even to open her hands.
Our team monitored her constantly, making sure that her condition had stabilized and that she was comfortable at all times. Our respiratory therapists adjusted her program daily, and she gradually regained functionality in her extremities. After two months, she was able to eat again, her lungs getting stronger, and we gradually weaned her off the ventilator.
"I can walk again, and, just as important, my mental state is much better. I’m a nurse and my husband is a doctor. I know all about healthcare, and I know that Triboro Center is the best."
