Security, confidentiality, comfort & convenience
Stoma care can be intimidating for both the patient and their family. It is usual for clients to initially feel apprehensive because of their altered body image and altered elimination processes. Individuals can confidently resume daily activities with proper support and stoma care management.
A stoma is a surgically created opening in the body, either an ileostomy or colostomy of the bowel or a urostomy of the bladder. They can be temporary or permanent and require specialized care to look after them. Adjusting to life with a stoma can take time and effort. Our experienced stoma therapy supporters understand this and work with you to provide optimal care.
Wings of Care's Stoma Assessment, Therapy and Treatment Service is staffed by specially trained nurses who assess and provide holistic education and management of stomas.
The services of stoma therapy assist you in adapting to live with a temporary or permanent stoma. Our team collaborates closely with physicians, general practitioners, and allied health professionals to provide the most up-to-date care. We aim to restore your pre-surgery daily activities.
