Taking Care Of Your Loved Ones With Compassion
How Caregivers Provide Colostomy Care To Elders
Justin Villa Care offers experienced and supportive care to help patients and seniors who have a colostomy bag. Our in-home caregivers visit patients’ homes to take care of them, so they can live, walk, and sit comfortably even while carrying a colostomy bag. Being in-home caregivers, we regularly help seniors, from emptying to changing the colostomy bag. Additionally, we also assist with the maintenance of the stoma and colostomy bag.
Often, family members don’t have proper knowledge regarding handling and managing a patient who has undergone a colostomy procedure. That’s why you need to trust us as we have a team of expertise and trained staff to guarantee the most reliable possible colostomy care at home.

What is a Colostomy Bag?
A colostomy bag is also known as a stoma bag or ostomy bag. This is a small, waterproof pouch basically used to store waste from the body. During a Colostomy surgical procedure, an opening is made between the large intestine and the abdominal wall. A colostomy pouch is attached to the opening in order to collect waste from the body. However, this Colostomy bag needs to be emptied at regular intervals.
Justin Villa Care has qualified in-home caregivers and healthcare practitioners holding many years of experience who can do all colostomy-related tasks.

Why Do You Need In-Home Colostomy Bag Care Services?

Caregivers of Justin Villa Care are responsible and do the cleaning periodically. Our professionals won’t only change the patient’s colostomy bag but also protect the wound from waste and keep the pouch attached to the skin.

Sadly, my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2021 and it became overwhelming to juggle her care and my job. A social worker recommended hiring a caregiver for seniors and gave me a brochure for Brenda and Doha at Justin Villa Care … More in Torrance. I am so thankful I called because their staff has been so professional and attentive to my Mother's care needs. Brenda is a registered nurse and her background uncovered some issues with her medication that she helped resolve with her doctors. I now don't have to worry as much about my Mother being at safe knowing that there are competent and skilled caregivers who treat my Mom so well. I highly recommend anyone to call Justin Villa Care if you are in need of a quality senior home care provider in Torrance. -

I hired 24/7 caregivers from Justin Villa Care two months ago to care for my aging Mother and could not be happier. The time and attention that I have received from Brenda and her team has been a blessing. They've been checking in … More with us consistently to see how things are going and have responded with each of our questions with professionalism and care. So happy to have found them and would recommend them in a heart beat! -

My mom had a stroke that turned her life upside down from an independent woman to needing help with daily tasks. Justin Villa Care was referred to me by the case manager at the hospital and I’m so thankful she did. They met with our family … More promptly
and brought in a caregiver who has been super helpful. Thank you Brenda and Doha for all your help.
