Wisteria's catheter & stoma care service is delivered by qualified nurses with specialist training, combining clinical rigour with genuine warmth and the convenience of care in your own home.
What is Catheter & Stoma Care?
Catheter & Stoma Care at home involves qualified nurses providing skilled, evidence-based care according to an individually developed care plan developed in consultation with our clinical team.
What's included
Who benefits from this service?
Catheter and stoma care is required by clients who have had urological procedures, pelvic surgery, spinal cord conditions, or long-term catheterisation. Stoma care is needed by clients who have had bowel, bladder or urostomy surgery.
How it works
Clinical assessment
Our RN conducts a thorough assessment and develops a detailed, individual clinical care plan.
Schedule and coordination
We establish a visit schedule matched to clinical need and coordinate with your GP and specialist team.
Skilled nursing care
Regular nurse visits deliver the clinical care, fully documented and communicated to your medical team.
Ongoing review and escalation
Clinical status is monitored at every visit. Concerns are escalated to your GP promptly, not at the next scheduled appointment.
🩺 Clinical note: Urinary tract infections related to indwelling catheters (CAUTI) are one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and a significant cause of hospitalisation in older adults. Meticulous catheter care technique is the primary prevention strategy.
