Respiratory Care Services

Village Green of Bristol offers comprehensive respiratory care and ventilator management services. Our program is headed by board-certified pulmonologists, and care is provided by a team of specially-trained nurses and respiratory therapists, who are on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Programs are provided in a unit that features spacious, semi-private rooms. The use of portable ventilators is encouraged so patients can remain as active as possible and enjoy free access throughout the center.

SERVICES INCLUDE:

  • Ventilator support for residents who require long-term ventilator support and care
  • Aggressive ventilator weaning
  • Pre-ventilation management including Bipap and CPAP
  • Tracheostomy management including changing and maintaining tracheostomy tubes
  • Oxygen therapy, titration, and secretion mobilization, including cough-a-lator and percussion therapy
  • Capnograph and pulse oximetry

WHAT RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES SAY ABOUT OUR CENTER

"My stay at the Village Green of Bristol made all the difference in helping me recover after my hospitalization. I was back on my feet just three weeks after triple bypass surgery and I feel better every day."

- Adam M.

"I would like to thank the nurses, the physical therapists, and everyone at the Subacute Center of Bristol who worked so hard to help me come back after I broke my hip last March. I didn't think I would ever be able to live on my own again, but now you should see me with my cane – I can even drive and do my own shopping!"

- Mary L.
