Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights Expands Specialized Care Services

Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights, recently named one of the Best Nursing Homes for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report, is pleased to announce the expansion of its programs to now include tracheostomy care and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for residents. This enhancement reflects the community’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, person-centered care for individuals with complex health needs using Juniper’s Connect4Life care model to reduce the impact of re-hospitalizations.

Tracheostomy Care involves the management of a surgically created opening in the neck that allows for breathing support. It requires specialized knowledge to ensure the airway remains clear, clean, and functioning properly. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a method of delivering essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream when an individual is unable to eat or absorb food through their digestive system. TPN is often used for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or an injury that affects their gastrointestinal tract.

“We are always looking for ways to expand our care services to meet the needs of the people in the San Antonio community and Juniper is one of the only providers offering this type of specialized care pathway,” said John Whalen, Hospital Liaison for Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights. “Our ability to offer TPN and Trach services allows us to be a great option for people to receive the care they need and to be closer to their loved ones.”

Juniper Village at Lincoln Heights offers a home-like, respectful environment focused on personalized care. Our team works in coordination with local hospital social workers and discharge planners to support a smooth transition from the hospital to post-acute care.
