What if the patient is going home on Tube Feedings (PEG) (Percutaneous Enteral Gastric Tube)?
If the patient is returning home on PEG feedings the nursing staff will meet with patient and family to educate them on this. Teaching the family familiarizes them with the equipment and what to expect when they return home, Social Worker will order all equipment necessary for the PEG feedings including the food. This should be delivered to the home and so up before the patient return home, Upon delivery the worker for the Equipment Company will review how the equipment works.
