Service line 01
Wound care that closes wounds
Weekly bedside rounds, real debridement, advanced modalities, and documentation that stands up to survey and payer review. Our largest and longest-running service line.
What we treat
Wound care covers a wide range
Every referral is assessed on its own merits. If a resident needs a different specialty or a higher level of care, we say so plainly.
Conditions we manage
- Pressure injuries, stage 1 through 4
- Unstageable wounds and deep tissue injury
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Venous leg ulcers
- Arterial and ischemic ulcers
- Surgical wounds and dehiscence
- Skin tears and traumatic wounds
- Moisture-associated skin damage
- Atypical and non-healing wounds
At the bedside
What we do at the bedside
What the clinician actually does in the room.
Assessment and staging
Full wound history, measurement, tissue and exudate characterisation, photography where indicated.
Sharp and selective debridement
Performed in the room by the clinician, not deferred to an outpatient visit.
Advanced dressing selection
Product chosen to the wound in front of us, with quantity and frequency specified in the order.
Negative pressure oversight
Initiation, settings, troubleshooting and weaning, coordinated with your supplier.
Compression and offloading
Therapy selection for venous disease and pressure redistribution planning with your therapy team.
Cellular and tissue-based products
Applied at the bedside when the wound bed and the documentation support it.
Infection assessment
Clinical evaluation, culture when indicated, and antibiotic recommendations to the attending.
Risk factor coordination
Nutrition, glycemic control, vascular referral and moisture management addressed alongside the wound.
Care pathway
How a wound care referral moves
Sequential by design — every step is a hand-off with a named owner, so nothing sits waiting for someone to notice it.
- Referral and chart review. We take a single resident or a whole skin-and-wound list, and review before the visit.
- Initial bedside evaluation. Etiology, staging, measurement and a photographic baseline where appropriate.
- Treatment plan and orders. Written to your chart with product, frequency and duration specified.
- Weekly rounds and re-measurement. Objective progress against baseline at every visit.
- Plan revision. Stalled wounds get a changed plan and, where needed, a vascular or surgical referral.
- Closure and prevention. Discharge from the service with a prevention plan and a staff in-service.
Settings served
- Skilled nursing
- Assisted living
- Memory care
