Tube Feeding Assistance

MyCare’s tube feeding assistance at home is arranged after the prescribed feeding plan, tube type, required supplies and clinical suitability are reviewed. The confirmed visit scope may include preparation, positioning, feed administration support, tube-site hygiene, documentation and signs that require escalation.

Who may need tube feeding assistance at home?

This service may be relevant when a treating clinician has prescribed enteral feeding and a patient or family needs nursing support to follow that plan at home. The prescribed formula, volume, rate, water flushes and medicine instructions should be confirmed before the visit.

What can the confirmed visit include?

• Reviewing the prescribed feeding plan and available supplies
• Supporting preparation, positioning and feed administration within the agreed scope
• Tube-site hygiene and routine observation
• Documenting the visit and explaining which concerns should be escalated

What should you confirm before booking?

• The tube type and when it was placed
• The prescribed formula, schedule, rate and flush instructions
• Any medicines administered through the tube
• Supplies already available at home
• Recent tube problems, vomiting, breathing difficulty, pain, leakage or skin concerns

MyCare will confirm the visit scope and quotation before booking. Do not change a prescribed feeding plan without guidance from the treating clinician. Urgent symptoms require prompt medical assessment.
