When oral feeding becomes a high risk of choking (aspiration) and causes other associated problems, e.g. chest infection (aspiration pneumonia), a feeding tube will be recommended. Our care staff members are well trained in tube feeding and change of feeding tube.

We also ensure that there is always someone who can speak English well during each shift. When needed, we have other staff members to help in translation for only dialect-speaking residents.
