ventilator-dependent resident patients
resident patients might work well for Heimpatienten (2nd link), ventilator-dependent seems to be an etsablished term, as well( 1st link).

Comment: "I like ventilator-dependent. Resident may be misleading, since that could mean a resident in a nursing home, too, for instance. Since this is an outpatient facility, I assume patients on ventilators living at home come in for checkups.
Therefore, "home care" (Melek) wouldn't apply either.
But thanks to everybody who jumped in on this one!

home care of ventilator (respirator)-dependent patients
Since I do not know exactly what'Heim' stands for in this context, I have 2 proposals to make:
1) ...home care of ventilator-dependent patients
or
2) ...care of ventilator-dependent patients in nursing homes
I would probably go with the first answer, since 'Heim' and 'home' are both comparatively vague.
And instead of ventilator you can also use 'respirator'; according to Roche both are equally correct.
