CARE

Our regard for residents who require catheterization is very high. With a view to making your loved one feel comfortable and safe, our expert team at Priyajeewaka Nursing Home takes proper care of their catheter needs with precision and empathy. Here's how we manage catheter care to assure maximum comfort and safety:

Expert Insertion and Management

Our skilled health care staff can insert a catheter very skillfully. The whole process initiates by cleaning the genital area with an antiseptic, applying some numbing gel, and then lubricating it so that it does not cause as much pain. After that, a Foley catheter is inserted, and a balloon inflated with sterile water at the end is inflated to keep it firmly fixed. In cases where this has to be used for a longer time, we provide detailed training regarding self-catheterization so that the residents are able to care for themselves accordingly.

Routine Maintenance

Effective maintenance can help to avoid many complications. Regular assessments are conducted for the purpose of checking the working of catheter, detecting possible infections, or blocking the catheter. All this helps in preserving comfort and health of your loved one by proactive efforts.

Full Monitoring

This aspect of our catheter care services incorporates continuous monitoring, whereby the catheter and collection bag are frequently inspected for the early identification of problems to allow for their prompt resolution. The careful monitoring ensures that your loved one has minimum disruption and maximum comfort.

We do recognize that the needs of every resident are different. Individual care plans are designed by our team, addressing the specific medical conditions and preferences of your loved one. Such an approach allows each aspect of catheter care to be tailored for more effectiveness and comfort.

Personalized Care Plans

We take time to fully educate the residents and their families about catheter care, explaining to them the processes involved in handling the catheter and emptying the collection bag, in addition to good hygiene practices. We leave all parties involved informed and confident in their ability to care for catheter care.

Education and Support

Caring support

Catheter care can be very personal and painful. Our empathetic team helps by providing moral support and comfort in a relaxed atmosphere for your loved one. We help make the process of catheter care as smooth and easy on them as possible.

Hygiene and Safety

Following stringent hygiene practices goes a long way in keeping infections at bay and in ensuring the safe usage of catheters. We maintain high standards of cleanliness and treat all apparatuses used in catheter care with extreme care and accuracy.

Continual Care and Revisions

At the Good Samaritan Society, when long-term catheterization is called for with residents, we keep reviewing and revising this plan of care as needed. From changing a catheter to adjusting ways of care, our quality care continuously meets your loved one's needs.

Understanding Foley Catheters

A foley catheter drains urine from the bladder in patients who are unable to urinate naturally. This is mainly applied for urinary incontinence and urinary retention patients, with enlargement of the prostate, after surgery, amongst other uses. Our staff is fully experienced in the handling of catheters with regard to insertion, maintenance, education, and support.

Management of Pain and Complications

While Foley catheters provide an important advantage in continuous bladder drainage, they are also known to have certain risks: urinary tract infections and bladder spasms. We work hard to minimize these risks and manage discomfort so that your loved one receives the best care possible. Our compassion for exceptional catheter care inside Priyajeewaka Nursing Home shows in all dimensions of service. To begin with, we shall take care of your comfort and well-being for your loved one. In case you require any assistance or inquiries, we have a dedicated team of staff to help you out.
