Expert Care at Home

Home Wound & Ostomy Care

Wound Care

Our nurses evaluate the wound’s type, size, and condition, cleaning and dressing it with sterile techniques. We apply advanced treatments when needed and educate patients on hygiene, nutrition, and pressure sore management, especially for those with limited mobility.

Ostomy Care

We assess the stoma and surrounding skin, ensuring proper pouch fitting. Our nurses clean the site, replace the pouch, and ensure secure adhesion to prevent leaks. We provide self-care education and maintain communication with the physician for ongoing support.

Ongoing Support

Our nurses diligently track changes to wound and ostomy sites during each visit, updating the physician when necessary. We ensure patients have access to required supplies and deliver follow-up care in line with their personalized care plans.

What Types of Wounds Can Nurses Treat?

Nurses can manage pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds that are healing slowly, skin tears, and other types of wounds as directed by a physician.

Will the Nurse Pack My Wound?

How Often Does the Nurse Visit for Ostomy Care?

How Long Until My Wound Heals with Nursing Care?
