Catheter & Colostomy Care

Managing medical equipment and procedures at home requires precision, strict hygiene, and compassionate support. At Lifewin Home Healthcare, our DHA-registered caregivers are trained to provide safe and professional catheter and colostomy care, ensuring elderly patients remain comfortable, dignified, and free from complications.

What is Catheter Care?

A urinary catheter is a tube inserted to help drain urine when someone cannot do so naturally. Proper catheter care includes cleaning, monitoring, and timely maintenance to prevent infections, discomfort, or blockages.

What is Colostomy Care?

A colostomy is a surgical opening in the abdomen that allows stool to pass into a colostomy bag. Colostomy care involves emptying or changing the pouch, cleaning the stoma, and protecting the surrounding skin to avoid irritation or infection.

How We Help

• Catheter Care – regular cleaning, safe handling, and monitoring for infection.

• Colostomy Care – pouch changes, stoma care, and skin protection with respect and sensitivity.
