Frequently Asked Questions

What is tube feeding, and who needs it?
Tube feeding is a method of delivering liquid nutrition directly into the stomach or small intestine when an individual cannot eat or swallow safely. It is commonly used for seniors, individuals with neurological disorders, or those recovering from surgery or illness. Our team ensures residents receive proper nutrition in a safe and dignified manner.
How does your staff ensure safe tube feeding?
Our caregivers are trained in proper tube feeding techniques, including positioning residents correctly, monitoring for complications, and maintaining strict hygiene standards. We follow doctor-prescribed feeding plans and carefully observe for any signs of discomfort, aspiration, or infection. Safety and comfort are always our top priorities.
What type of nutrition is provided through tube feeding?
Residents receive doctor-recommended liquid formulas tailored to their dietary needs, medical conditions, and caloric requirements. These formulas provide essential nutrients, proteins, vitamins, and hydration to maintain overall health. If dietary adjustments are needed, we work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure the best possible care.
Can residents still eat by mouth if they have a feeding tube?
In some cases, residents with feeding tubes may still be able to eat certain foods by mouth, depending on their condition and a doctor’s recommendation. Our team carefully follows individualized care plans to determine if oral intake is safe and appropriate for each resident.
How do you prevent infections and complications related to feeding tubes?
Our staff follows strict infection control protocols, including regular tube cleaning, proper hand hygiene, and careful monitoring for redness, swelling, or leaks around the insertion site. We also ensure that feeding tubes are flushed as required to prevent blockages and maintain proper function.

At AAA Shepherd’s Care Home LLC, we are committed to providing safe, compassionate, and professional tube feeding care to support the health and well-being of our residents.
