Ostomy and Urinary Catheter Services

We provide catheter care as part of our comprehensive in-home healthcare services. Catheter care is a critical aspect of home healthcare that helps prevent infections and ensures client comfort. Employees are expected to:

​

  • Follow all hygiene protocols when handling urinary catheters.

  • Monitor for signs of infection or blockage, such as foul odor, cloudy urine, fever, or discomfort.

  • Keep the catheter tubing and drainage bag clean and properly positioned below bladder level.

  • Report any concerns or abnormalities to the office or supervising nurse immediately.

  • Educate and encourage client involvement in catheter hygiene when appropriate.

​​

Proper catheter care minimizes health risks and supports the client’s dignity and well-being in the home setting.
