When a child requires a DME company to provide home health equipment, understanding your options is important. Families have the freedom to choose the company that best meets their needs. Facing a chronic or acute respiratory condition can feel overwhelming. Managing care at home is a big step, but for many families, it provides stability, comfort, and essential medical support.
What Is a respiratory care DME company?
A home respiratory care DME provides specialized medical support for children with conditions that impact breathing, such as asthma, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and cystic fibrosis. Instead of frequent hospital visits, care comes to you, including:
- Oxygen therapy
- Mechanical ventilation
- Tracheostomy care
- Nebulizer treatments
- Pulse oximetry monitoring.
But more than the equipment, home respiratory care is about the people. It’s about trained professionals who come into your home with one goal: to help your child breathe easier—and help you, the caregiver, breathe a little easier too.
What Equipment Is Needed?
The specific equipment depends on your child’s condition. Some may need a simple oxygen tank, while others require ventilators or suction machines. The good news? Today’s equipment is more compact and user-friendly than ever.
At Wave Healthcare, we ensure every device is delivered with thorough training and ongoing support, so you feel confident in your child’s care.

Initial Adjustment – Bringing medical care into the home can feel overwhelming, but with the right training and support, families adapt quickly.
