CATHETER CARE

Care Mountain’s skilled nursing staff provides expert care for individuals with intermittent or indwelling urinary catheters. Our services include catheter insertion, sterile irrigation, catheter replacement, and care of suprapubic catheters. Our skilled nurses adapt care to the type of catheter prescribed by the referring physician, ensuring your comfort and well-being.

COLOSTOMY CARE

Our skilled nurses are here to assist patients with colostomy, gastrostomy, ileostomy, and tracheostomy situations. We understand that adapting to a new ostomy can be life-changing. Our ostomy nurses provide comprehensive colostomy care and teaching services during the initial weeks after surgery. They also help patients become self-sufficient in pouch fitting, reducing reliance on the ostomy nurse.

  • Gastrostomy: A surgical opening into the stomach, often used for long-term feeding.
  • Ileostomy: An opening in the abdominal wall due to issues with the ileum, requiring a pouch for stool collection.
  • Tracheostomy: A surgically created hole in the neck leading to the windpipe, with a tube inserted for breathing assistance.

CARDIAC CARE & REHAB PROGRAMS

Our cardiac care programs, overseen by specialized RNs and LVNs, are designed for patients with heart conditions and those recovering from surgeries like stent placement, heart attacks, strokes, TAVR, and open-heart procedures. Our 6-12 week cardiac rehab programs aim to improve health and quality of life through carefully supervised sessions.

During these programs, our skilled nursing team uses ECG telemetry to monitor your heart’s response to activities, ensuring your safety and progress.

STROKE SPECIFIC CARDIAC CARE PROGRAMS

For hypertension management, timely nursing care is vital to prevent complications and inpatient admissions. At Care Mountain, our specialized support helps manage hypertension effectively. We educate patients and their families about lifestyle factors affecting blood pressure and assist with self-monitoring techniques and medication adherence.

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (CHF) PROGRAMS

Our CHF program takes a comprehensive approach to manage heart diseases at home, reducing ER visits and hospital readmissions. Supervised by physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, this program incorporates evidence-based practices and covers all aspects of CHF management, including weight, nutrition, fluid, medication, and activity management. We provide tools for symptom management and offer education and training for patients and their families, enhancing independence and daily life.
