Medford Multicare Center for Living houses one of the few
long-term vent units where we also successfully wean patients
that may be assessed as candidates to return home.
A Registered Respiratory Therapist is on-site 24 hours per
day, 7 days per week, on our unique and dynamic 40-bed unit.
They provide tracheotomy care and tracheotomy changes on the
ventilator unit and throughout the facility.
Each patient is assigned to one of our dedicated, Board Certified
Pulmonologists so they can know their patients and follow
their care. Our interdisciplinary team determines the individualized
plan of care for each patient, and an emphasis is placed on
each person’s psychosocial well-being.
Our team constantly evaluates each patient with the hopes
of reducing their ventilator dependence, and our services
are directed at restoring each resident to his or her optimal
level of functioning.
