What is a stoma?

An ostomy is an opening made on the abdomen to bring part of the bowel or urinary system to the surface to create a new exit route for the excretion of stool and gas or urine. This new open end of the bowel or ureter is known as a stoma.

A urine-draining stoma is called a urostomy, and a stoma formed from the bowel is referred to as a colostomy or an ileostomy, depending on which part of the bowel it is connected to.

Why would someone need a stoma?

There are a number of bowel conditions that might mean someone needs a stoma, such as:

  • Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, or other serious inflammatory bowel diseases.
  • Ischaemic bowel – this is a condition where blood flow to part of the bowel is restricted, causing areas of tissue death.
  • Cancer – cancers of the colon or rectum.
  • Congenital bowel defects – these are bowel problems that are present from birth; some babies’ digestive systems don’t fully form and need surgery to correct this. They may need a permanent, or a reversible stoma.

How does Homage help with stoma care?

With advanced age and medical conditions such as dementia and Parkinson’s, taking care of individuals with a stoma can be a challenging experience. In reality, caregivers face basic care challenges such as seniors not knowing when to empty the pouch, appliances being ripped off, or the challenge of simply changing stoma bags from time to time due to frailty or tremors.

We also offer long or short-term care solutions to support you throughout the transition period during the recovery period after surgery and beyond. Specialist nursing care for complex stomas and wounds can promote good healing and prevent complications, enabling you or your loved one to continue living life to the fullest.

What our customers say

Help during the pandemic

The team has been sublime to work with albeit having to temporarily halt engaging them for care services due to the pandemic situation now in Malaysia. All teething issues in the initial phase of engagement were swiftly addressed and satisfactorily so. Special shoutout to Shirley from Homage who has been responding promptly to all my queries and requests (and went far and beyond my expectations with her actions in all counts).

Wong Voon Bing
Highly recommended care when I'm away

My father had a fall recently and sustained a hip fracture. Living overseas and not being able to travel back home to assist with recovery was very worrying. A friend recommended Homage to help with his nursing care. They are prompt in replying to messages. The care provided was excellent and highly professional. We have been very pleased with the service. There are times when we had to change the appointment time and they obliged and looked into our needs.

Anisa Aisha
Positive experience

Our experience has been very positive. So far, we have used their Care Pros perhaps 10 times (for checking in on mum) and she has been nothing short of kind and supportive. The coordinator Bel has also been a great help since day one. I find the price to be reasonable. Love the reporting feature on their app. You could see what has been done during the visit. It’s worth trying out.

Adelaine Yeo
My gratitude and appreciation

My 85-year-old mother, who underwent post-ventral incisional hernia surgery in January 2019 had CPs from Homage, all professionally trained, from leading Malaysian hospitals. The CPs nursed my mother with diligence, and compassion; providing invaluable tips on elderly caregiving to family members. My gratitude and appreciation to Team Homage.

Azwan Shahuddin
Definitely one of the best!

I had positive experiences with Homage so far. They are flexible, affordable, and professional. The coordinator from Homage has been very helpful and accommodating to my request since day one. Caregivers assigned to take care of my grandmother are punctual, professionally trained and attentive. Hope they will continue to serve well.

Kamilah Barvin
Comprehensive physiotherapy program

Homage has helped us a lot in assisting the recovery of our beloved father. They provide us with a comprehensive explanation regarding the physiotherapy program. The therapist they sent is highly qualified, courteous, passionate, and gave outstanding service. And above all, the charges are fair and affordable.

Farizal Anam
Guidance for my domestic helper

Thank you Homage for your assistance after my mom was discharged from the hospital due to dengue fever. Mom regained her confidence to take her first shower after discharge with the help of Homage's caregiver, something my domestic helper will not be able to do. Also to guide my domestic helper to handle her in a more hygienic way. My maid learned the proper method and able to give better care to mom now. Highly recommend it to people who looking for professional care services to manage family members who need help.

Hassle-free swab test

Sofia Mustaffa
Overall a good team work

I want to thank Homage for their excellent service especially Ms. Ginger for her brilliant communication and customer service and for making the necessary arrangements. She does a good follow-up before and after the physio, also accurate feed-back. We appreciate Ms. Shu for her excellent physio service which made my mother gain confidence that she can walk again. Ms. Shu is very patient, hard-working, and committed to seeing my mum will be completely restored and healed. Thank you.
