In-home respiratory services bring expert support, specialized equipment, and peace of mind right into your everyday life. This guide will walk you through what that care looks like, who it’s for, and how we support families every step of the way.
What Are Home Respiratory Services?
Real Support You Can Feel
When we talk about home respiratory care, we’re not just talking about machines. We’re talking about bringing real medical support into your home in a way that works for your family.
That means:
- Equipment like vents, oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, and suction machines
- A team of respiratory therapists who know your name and your story
- Hands-on training so you feel prepared and confident
- Ongoing check-ins and 24/7 help when you need it
At Wave, we don’t just deliver equipment; we deliver peace of mind. You’ll never have to figure it all out alone.
Who Might Need This Kind of Care?
Diagnoses That Sometimes Call for Home-Based Support
Every child is different, but here are some common reasons families turn to home respiratory services:
- Neuromuscular conditions like SMA or muscular dystrophy
- Chronic lung issues like BPD
- Trach or ventilator support
- Leaving the NICU or PICU with continued respiratory needs
- Conditions like sleep apnea that require CPAP or BiPAP
The good news? Care doesn’t stop when you leave the hospital. We’re here to help make the transition home smoother and safer.
What to Expect When You Start
From Setup to Support, We’ve Got You
Starting home care can feel like a lot, but we break it down into simple, manageable steps:
- We get to know you. We’ll talk to your providers and meet with your family to understand what you need.

- We stay in touch. You’re never on your own. Whether it’s a quick question or an emergency, we’re just a call away.
You’re Not Just a Patient, You’re a Family
