Complex Enteral Peg Feeding
We offer specialised Enteral (PEG) Feeding services for participants who require assistance with tube feeding due to their medical conditions. Our experienced team provides safe, effective, and dignified care to ensure participants receive the nutrition they need while maintaining their health and well-being.
What is Enteral (PEG) Feeding?
Enteral feeding, often referred to as Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding, is a method of delivering nutrition directly into the stomach through a tube for participants who are unable to eat or swallow food safely. PEG feeding is essential for individuals who cannot meet their nutritional needs by oral intake due to medical conditions such as neurological disorders, cancer, or severe swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
Our PEG feeding services include:
-
Administering formula and medications via the feeding tube
-
Monitoring the insertion site for infection or complications
-
Maintaining and cleaning the PEG tube to prevent blockages
-
Training participants and caregivers in tube feeding procedures
Our Approach
Our Enteral (PEG) Feeding care is personalised and respectful of each participant’s individual needs.
Care plans are developed and monitored by a Registered Nurse, ensuring that participants receive appropriate and safe nutrition management. These care plans are continuously reviewed, with progress notes prepared every three months and care plan reviews every six months.
We collaborate closely with participants, families, and healthcare providers to ensure that PEG feeding is carried out effectively, preventing complications and improving overall quality of life.
