Goals for at-home wound care include:

• Patient comfort and overall health

• Preventing infection

• Improving healing time

• Preventing wound-related hospitalizations

• Education to prevent new wounds from occurring

In many ways, the home health team and family members are the doctor’s eyes when a patient is at home. Timely communication is good preventive care. Family members can see and report changes. They provide early warnings for pressure injuries, watch for infections, and ensure their loved ones are eating right. Family caregivers are also expected to follow care plans. The home health team guides family members through each step of the process and is available 24/7 for consultations.

If you have a chronic health condition, we can help you manage it. Our team works closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs. Surgical wounds, cuts, and breaks have a much greater risk of complications in older adults. Diligent care for wounds can prevent serious and life-altering complications. The home health team provides expert care and education for people and family caregivers. They will help you prevent infections, pressure sores, or falls that lead to injury. Education includes how to manage chronic or underlying health conditions to give people better opportunities to heal.

Conditions needing wound management include:

• Surgical wounds

• Diabetic foot ulcers

• Pressure ulcers or pressure injuries

• Venous stasis ulcers

• Burns

• Complicated skin tear

• Neuropathic foot ulcer

• Soft tissue radiation injury

• Amputations

A home help nurse can help with all of these conditions and provide care for older adults.

We provide comprehensive care for women of all ages, including gynecological exams, family planning, and menopause management. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care that meets your unique needs. When it comes to in-home wound care, a registered nurse (RN) is the key to successful healing. An RN has a deep understanding of clinical and nursing care practices, education, and treatments for wounds. They will manage the care, coordinate services, and oversee all aspects of wound healing.

An RN can help with the following:

• Ensuring people are properly caring for a wound and taking their prescriptions

• The right kind of supervision

• Bio wound testing

• Asking about pain and any other concerns

• Encouraging a diet to promote healing

• Checking on your safety

• Teaching patients and their families about overall wellness

• Coordinating care to stay ahead of potential problems

We believe that knowledge is power when it comes to your health. That’s why we provide a variety of patient resources, including educational materials, support groups, and access to our patient portal.
