Since suctioning is an invasive procedure, the agency will only send LPNs or RNs. Most have never suctioned before or know about the ventilator so my other nurse or my mom have to teach them.

I am from Texas, the home help agency, though once to let provider suctioned
because it is not dedicated only caregiver could do that.  I'd tell them
that suctioned is part of of my needs.  I am asking to the people that are
connected to a respirator if they have the same problem like I do
