Healthcare / Ventilator Care

Ventilator Care

Generations at Lincoln offers ventilator care for individuals who are dealing with chronic respiratory problems.

What is Ventilator Care?

A ventilator is a machine that supports your breathing. Ventilators help get oxygen into the lungs and remove carbon dioxide. It makes breathing possible for people who have lost all ability to breathe on their own.

Who Should Participate in Ventilator Care?

Some need ventilator care because of treatable conditions including infection or malnutrition. In these cases, patients can be weaned from their dependence on a ventilator. Other have chronic and long-term respiratory failure that is an irreversible problem. In these cases, staff will provide compassionate care and ventilator monitoring to ensure that residents enjoy maximum quality of life.
