How visits work
Our clinical team travels to the patient and provides professional wound evaluation and treatment — in a private home, an assisted living facility, a group home, or another residential setting.
The frequency of visits depends on the patient’s medical condition and the type of wound being treated. Some patients may require visits once or twice per week, while others may require a different schedule based on clinical needs.
Referrals and coverage
Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan based on their medical condition and wound characteristics.
In many cases, a provider referral is required depending on the patient’s insurance. Our team can assist with coordinating the necessary referral and documentation if needed.
Many wound care services are covered by Medicare and certain insurance plans when they are medically necessary. Coverage depends on the patient’s condition and insurance benefits. Our administrative team can help verify coverage.
Signs a wound may not be healing properly
While many wounds heal on their own with basic care, some wounds may require medical attention. A wound that does not show improvement within a few weeks may be considered a chronic wound.
Common warning signs that a wound may not be healing properly include:
- Increasing redness around the wound
- Swelling
- Persistent drainage
- Foul odor
- Dark or dead tissue
- Worsening pain
In some cases, the wound may remain open for an extended period of time without noticeable improvement. Patients with diabetes, circulation problems, or limited mobility are at higher risk for delayed wound healing.
If a wound is not improving or appears to be getting worse, professional wound care evaluation may be necessary to prevent infection and promote proper healing.
Preventing pressure ulcers (bed sores) at home
Pressure ulcers, also known as bed sores, can develop when a person remains in the same position for extended periods of time. These wounds most commonly affect individuals who are bedridden, wheelchair-bound, or have limited mobility.
To help prevent pressure ulcers at home, caregivers should reposition the patient every two hours, keep the skin clean and dry, and use supportive cushions or pressure-relieving mattresses when possible. It is also important to check the skin daily for early signs of redness, discoloration, or irritation.
Proper nutrition and hydration also play an important role in maintaining healthy skin and supporting the body’s ability to heal.
If you notice any open areas, persistent redness, swelling, or drainage, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly. Early treatment can prevent small skin injuries from becoming serious wounds.
When to act quickly. If a wound shows signs of worsening such as increased redness, swelling, drainage, foul odor, or pain, request a medical evaluation as soon as possible. In an emergency, call 911.
