Ventilator Care Center

VMP can assist you or a loved one with long term and short term ventilator care.

VMP is one of only 3 Ventilator Programs in Wisconsin. With our recent expansion and certification of 16 additional suites at Trinity (our north campus), we currently have a total of 52 beds available which makes us the largest provider of Ventilator Care in Wisconsin.

At VMP Manor Park, we offer a total of 23 private rooms which are all Medicare/Medicaid certified in the Palmer and Maplewood Units. At VMP Trinity, we offer an additional 29 suites for long and short-term ventilator care.

People require the intervention of ventilator care for various reasons. There are many components to returning a patient to their own spontaneous breathing. Our Maplewood and Trinity Ventilator Units specialize in weaning patients from the ventilator with the ultimate goal being to return home.

Our specialized team works to meet the needs of our ventilator dependent patient and their families. This is accomplished through a diverse staff of experts including a group of three Board Certified Pulmonologists, 24 hour Respiratory Therapists onsite, Recreation Therapists, State Certified Registered Dietitian, Chaplains, Social Workers, Case Managers, Ventilator Certified Nursing staff, a Clinical Psychologist, and Physicians using a holistic approach. Following a life changing event, there is a holistic need to care for the entire patient and in many cases their family as well. We provide all of these services in a home-like setting for long term care management.

Behavioral health experts are on staff to promote mental well-being while chaplains assist both the patient and the family. Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy, as well as good nutrition are vital aspects of rehabilitation provided to help patients gain strength for the weaning process or maintaining quality of life.
