PEG Feeding

For individuals who require Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding, maintaining proper nutrition and hydration is essential for their well-being and overall health. At Heart of Gold Homecare, we provide specialist PEG feeding support, ensuring that clients receive safe, hygienic, and dignified care from highly trained carers.

Our PEG feeding services include:

• Managing and monitoring PEG tubes to ensure proper function
• Administering prescribed feeds and fluids according to dietary needs
• Preventing infections through meticulous tube care and hygiene practices

We understand that PEG feeding is not just a medical necessity but also a key aspect of maintaining quality of life. Our carers provide compassionate, person-centred support, ensuring that nutritional needs are met with comfort and dignity.

What is Gastrostomy Care?

Gastrostomy care supports individuals who require a feeding tube due to swallowing difficulties, neurological conditions, or other medical reasons. A PEG tube is a surgically placed feeding tube that allows for the direct delivery of food, liquids, and medications into the stomach.

At Heart of Gold Homecare, we offer comprehensive PEG feeding care at home, ensuring clients receive specialist nutritional support while maintaining independence in a familiar setting.

What Our PEG Feeding Care Involves?

Our approach goes beyond medical care, offering holistic support that prioritises health, comfort, and emotional well-being.
