OSTOMY AND URINARY CATHETER

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.
