When a wound needs attention
Call your doctor or us if a wound:
- Has not improved in 2 to 4 weeks
- Is getting bigger, deeper or more painful
- Has more drainage, a bad smell, or redness that spreads
- Is on the foot of someone with diabetes
Fever with chills, fast-spreading redness, black skin or confusion can be an emergency. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Conditions we treat
Chronic and complex wounds, treated where you live
A wound that has not improved in two to four weeks needs a specialist. These are the wounds we see most.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Open sores on the feet of people with diabetes. They need close care because nerve damage and slow healing can hide serious problems.
Learn morePressure Injuries (Bedsores)
Damage to skin and tissue from staying in one position too long. They are common in people who spend most of the day in bed or a wheelchair.
Learn moreVenous Leg Ulcers
Slow-healing sores on the lower leg caused by poor blood return in the veins. They often come with swelling and skin changes.
Learn moreArterial & Mixed Ulcers
Painful wounds caused by poor blood flow through the arteries, sometimes combined with vein problems. They need careful, coordinated care.
Learn moreSurgical & Non-Healing Wounds
Surgical cuts that open up, get infected or heal slowly, and other wounds that have stalled. We help get healing back on track at home.
Learn moreSkin Tears, Burns & Traumatic Wounds
Tears in fragile skin, minor burns and wounds from falls or accidents. Gentle, correct care lowers pain and the risk of infection.

Advanced wound care, without the trip to a clinic

A careful check of the wound at every visit, so we can see what is working and keep your doctor informed.

Modern dressings matched to your wound to manage moisture, protect the skin and fight infection.
Skin Substitutes
Thin sheets of special material placed on a stalled wound to support new tissue growth, when standard care is not enough.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, need a physician’s order for wound care. If you do not have one, call us and we will help you request it from your doctor.
Does insurance cover wound care at home?
Many plans cover wound care visits when a physician orders them. We check your benefits before the first visit and tell you about any cost up front.
How often will you visit?
Most patients are seen once a week. Some wounds need more frequent visits at first. Your plan is reviewed and adjusted at every visit.
How long does it take for a wound to heal?
It depends on the type of wound, its size, circulation, blood sugar and nutrition. Many chronic wounds improve within weeks with consistent care. We measure every visit so you can see progress.
Do you see patients in assisted living or skilled nursing facilities?
Yes. We visit homes, board-and-care homes, assisted living communities and skilled nursing facilities, and we work alongside facility staff.
What should I have ready for the first visit?
Your insurance card, a list of your medications, recent notes from your doctor if you have them, and any dressing supplies you are using now.
Is this a replacement for emergency care?
No. If a wound shows signs of a serious infection, such as fever, fast-spreading redness or confusion, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
