Learn more about how to choose your homecare provider for CPAP therapy.
Choosing the right homecare provider for your CPAP treatment is an important decision once you have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea. Because a homecare provider is responsible for setting you up with your CPAP equipment and is often your first point of contact for questions throughout your CPAP therapy, they play a large role in helping you successfully treat your sleep apnoea.
The role of a homecare provider
As your first point of contact for CPAP therapy, a homecare provider is vital for helping you achieve successful sleep apnoea treatment.

The role of a homecare provider
When you are first diagnosed with sleep apnoea, a physician will usually provide you with a prescription for CPAP treatment. You then take this prescription to a homecare provider, who will help you start your treatment. This homecare provider is particularly important at the start of your treatment. They should help you learn more about sleep apnoea, the treatment process, and set you up with therapy treatment. Most providers will allow you to try the CPAP machine for a month, during which time they should help you adopt therapy into your daily life and ensure that the treatment is having the intended result. In the longer-term, your homecare provider should help you maintain your CPAP equipment, supply you with replacement parts, solve any equipment problems, and help monitor your therapy progress for when your sleep apnoea treatment needs change.
Things to keep in mind when choosing a provider
Homecare providers have very different results with helping patients adopt CPAP treatment. When you look for a homecare provider for your sleep apnoea treatment, here are a few things to keep in mind to help with your therapy success and comfort.
First, and most importantly, you want to feel comfortable with your homecare provider staff and have confidence that they will be a good partner in your treatment journey. Since most people will be on treatment for the rest of their lives, choosing a homecare provider with a strong record of treatment, and one that will always be available to help with your care is important.
Second, you want to ensure that the homecare provider staff are well-trained. A CPAP provider that understands the equipment and the clinical treatment considerations will make it much easier for you to adopt therapy. Homecare provider staff should give you personal support to help ensure that you're using your equipment correctly, it is performing well, and you are getting the intended therapy results both short and long term.
Third, we believe that treating sleep apnoea is best done with teamwork. Your homecare provider should be an active member of your care team, along with you and your physician. They should share information with and make recommendations to this group so that everyone remains coordinated around your care.
