Care for people requiring long term ventilation

Superior Healthcare supports children, young people, and adults who require long-term ventilation, either invasively via a tracheostomy or non-invasively via a face mask.

We collaborate with hospitals, integrated care boards ICBs, and multidisciplinary teams across the UK to establish robust care packages, facilitating the safe discharge of individuals from hospitals to their homes as soon as possible.

Together with expert nurse managers, we create sustainable complex care packages that clients and their families can rely on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Clinical respiratory interventions

Our expert teams support many people with complex respiratory or ventilation requirements and interventions, like suctioning and respiratory therapy, to live well.

We prioritise meeting our clients’ clinical needs while minimising any disruptions caused by ventilator support, allowing them to maintain maximum independence and quality of life at home.

Many of the people we support are living with spinal cord injuries, neuromuscular disorders, and other long-term complex health conditions.

Expert care and nursing teams

All our specialist healthcare assistants and registered nurses, including paediatric nurses, are trained in the skills required to provide long-term ventilation support.

This includes performing procedures such as tracheostomy care, tracheostomy changes, tracheal suction, humidification practices, and managing both wet and dry ventilator circuits, as well as using the Aerogen nebuliser.

The client’s personalised care plan ensures that care and nursing teams – who are supervised and supported by a Nurse Manager – have a thorough understanding of the client’s condition, needs, preferences, and wishes.

Clinical support

Children, young people, and adults who require long-term ventilation support often need additional clinical and social care support. Our clinical support offerings include:

  • Tracheostomy and/or ventilator care (BiPAP/CPAP) and support to maintain a clear airway
  • Gastrostomy or jejunostomy care
  • Full moving and handling
  • Personal care including, continence care
  • Suction or cough assist support
  • Positive behaviour support
  • Medication administration
  • Epilepsy management

For us, it's personal

Superior Healthcare was founded in 2006, following our CEO’s own experience of locating a care package to support his brother, who sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11.

Having experienced first-hand the importance of high-quality, compassionate, and consistent complex care, we are driven to ensure that everyone – including people requiring long-term ventilation care – can live a fulfilled life, with fun, dignity, independence, and choice.
