What Our Wound Care Team of
Nurses Do at Your Home:
Every visit is performed by a licensed registered nurse in your home under a physician-ordered plan of care.
Here's what happens during wound care visits:
Wound Assessment
The RN measures, photographs, and documents the wound - size, depth, drainage, odor, and
surrounding tissue - on every visit to track healing progress.
Wound Cleaning & Debridement
Irrigation, cleansing, and removal of non-viable tissue to promote a healthy wound bed, reduce infection risk, and support healing.
Wound Dressing Application
Clinically appropriate dressings applied as ordered - silver-impregnated, moisture-retentive, antimicrobial, or compression-based depending on wound type.
Patient & Caregiver Education
Teaching you and your caregiver proper wound care technique, warning signs of infection, nutrition for healing, and when to contact your physician.

Physician Coordination
Communicating wound status directly with your doctor - updating the care plan, escalating concerns, and requesting additional orders as healing progresses.
Medicare may cover skilled in-home wound care at $O cost when care is
medically necessary and eligibility requirements are met. We verify your benefits before the first visit so you understand coverage and any costs in advance.
