Tracheostomy Care
Tracheostomy Care
Living with a tracheostomy takes a routine, and our RT helps you build one you can actually keep up.
Living with a tracheostomy takes a routine, and our RT helps you build one you can actually keep up. We handle inner cannula care, stoma site care, and qualified suctioning within our RT scope, and humidify the airway the way your plan calls for. The visit also gives the household a chance to ask about the routine and practice the parts that need to be managed between scheduled RT visits.
A tracheostomy is a small opening in the neck that connects the windpipe to the outside so a person can breathe through a tube. The tube and the skin around it need a clear, planned routine because mucus, moisture, and equipment care can be difficult for a household to manage. Tracheostomy care at home may include inner cannula care and qualified tracheostomy suctioning when those tasks are part of the existing plan and within qualified RT scope. Our licensed respiratory therapist explains the agreed routine at home, including inner cannula care, and helps caregivers practise the parts they are expected to handle.
Who this is for
Tracheostomy Care is for people managing airway and tracheostomy needs after a hospital stay, or ongoing tracheostomy care as part of chronic respiratory failure or long-term ventilator support. It is also for households that need a licensed respiratory therapist to explain the routine clearly and train caregivers within the existing plan. Begin with a free teleconsult so the team can understand what care is already prescribed and discuss the visit scope.
What our RT actually does
Inner cannula care and cleaning
Your RT provides routine inner cannula care and cleaning. The steps are explained as part of the home routine, with the visit focused on the care that has been planned for the household.
Qualified suctioning within scope
Airway suctioning is performed by your RT within their licensed scope. The service remains qualified and scheduled, with the scope discussed before the home visit.
Stoma site care
Your RT provides regular stoma site checks and cleaning to keep the area healthy. They explain what the household is doing during the routine and what should be raised at a follow-through visit.
Humidification
Your RT sets up and maintains airway humidification as your plan requires. Equipment checks and explanations are kept connected to the prescribed routine.
Caregiver technique training
Your RT provides hands-on training so your household can manage day-to-day care safely. Caregivers can work through the routine with the RT and leave with a clearer understanding of each step.
This is general information, not a diagnosis. Our licensed respiratory therapist works within RT scope and the existing care plan.

How cost is framed
Costs vary by the service scope, equipment involved, and visit cadence. We explain the applicable range during the free teleconsult. Services are priced as part of a care bundle, ask for a quote.
The quote can reflect scheduled care and caregiver education that fit the plan, so the household can review the scope before booking. The teleconsult gives the family a place to raise questions about what the scheduled visit includes.
Keeping the boundary clear
Tracheostomy care at home depends on an existing plan, the specific device, and a scheduled visit that fits the RT's scope. The RT explains the agreed routine and helps the caregiver identify questions for the physician or wider care team. If equipment support is also needed, home respiratory care can cover the connected respiratory setup, while the caregiver education page offers a broader equipment walkthrough.
