We manage a range of wounds—from surgical or radiation sites to pressure ulcers and cancer-related lesions—aiming to heal when possible, or control symptoms and promote dignity.

  • Thorough Wound Assessment
    Following standard principles: examining wound bed, edges, and surrounding skin

    Tailored interventions based on cause (e.g. diabetic ulcers, post-op wounds, radiation-related skin breakdown), exudate levels, infection risk, and patient comfort.

  • Safe Dressing & Compression Therapy
    Advanced foam, alginate, or hydrogel dressings; minimising trauma, managing odor, and preventing maceration.

  • Infection & Odor Control
    On-demand use of topical agents like metronidazole and odor-absorbing dressings to maintain comfort and hygiene.

    We address repositioning schedules, pressure-relieving surfaces, skin sealing, nutrition advice, and hydration to reduce ulcer progression.

    You’ll get practical training on safe wound care techniques, infection signs to watch, and general skin care to support healing at home.

Frequently asked questions

Can wound care be done at home?
Home health wound care is treatment for chronic and complex wounds in the comfort of home, for patients who meet home health eligibility criteria. This type of care is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid and some private insurance plans for eligible patients.

What heals wounds really fast?
Individuals have the option to address wounds with various over-the-counter (OTC) antibacterial ointments, aiding in infection prevention and promoting faster wound healing. A review of 27 animal model studies demonstrated the beneficial impact of antibacterial treatments on expediting wound recovery.

What heals wounds so fast?
Wounds tend to heal more rapidly when maintained in a warm environment. Aim for promptness when changing dressings to avoid prolonged exposure to open air, which can temporarily lower the wound's temperature and potentially slow down healing. Refrain from applying antiseptic creams, washes, or sprays on chronic wounds.
