1. Wound Assessment: A wound care specialist will assess the type, size, and severity of your wounds. They'll examine factors such as tissue damage, infection risk, and healing progress to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
2. Cleaning and Debridement: Wound care will clean your wound thoroughly to remove debris, bacteria, and dead tissue. They may also perform debridement, a procedure to remove unhealthy tissue from the wound bed to promote healing.
3. Dressing Changes: Depending on the type of wound and its stage of healing, our wound care specialists will apply appropriate dressings to protect the wound, absorb excess moisture, and promote a moist wound environment conducive to healing. They'll also ensure that dressings are changed regularly to maintain cleanliness and prevent infection.
4. Infection Management: If your wound shows signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, swelling, or drainage with an unpleasant odor, wound care will assess the severity of the infection and may administer topical or oral antibiotics as needed. They'll monitor your wound closely for signs of improvement or worsening infection.
5. Pain Management: Wound care specialists can provide interventions to manage wound-related pain and discomfort, such as applying topical anesthetics, using non-adherent dressings to minimize pain during dressing changes.
6. Education and Counseling: Wound care will educate you and your caregivers on proper wound care techniques, including wound cleansing, dressing application, signs of complications to watch for, and strategies for optimizing healing. They'll also provide guidance on nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle factors that can support wound healing.
7. Preventive Measures: In addition to treating existing wounds, our wound care specialists will assess your risk factors for developing new wounds and provide recommendations for preventive measures, such as pressure relief techniques for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers or diabetic foot care education to prevent foot ulcers.
8. Coordination of Care: Wound care may collaborate with other members of your healthcare team, such as primary care physicians, other specialists, home health aides, and family caregivers, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care that addresses all aspects of your health and well-being.
We can treat skin tears, abrasions, pressure ulcers, arterial wounds, lacerations, leg ulcers, trauma wounds, burns, and diabetic foot wounds. See the full diagram here
Our providers constantly evaluate your wounds to see if they are healing or not. If your wound gets infected, we will first treat the infection. If the wound is not healing, we may suggest an alternative treatment plan, such as skin grafting, to see if that yields better results. Talk to your provider if you feel like your wound is not healing!
Orders and supplies from the provider will be faxed over to your home health agency the next day.
Your home health agency is responsible for fulfilling any wound supplies you may need.
