Care where the patient lives
Patients who can’t easily travel still get regular wound care, so visits don’t get missed.
Wound care for your patients, without the clinic trip
We see your patients at home, in assisted living and in skilled nursing facilities. You stay in charge of their care, and we keep you informed.
Why refer

We work with physicians, podiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, home health agencies and hospital discharge planners.
You stay the physician of record
We treat under your orders and call you before changing the plan. Your patient stays your patient.
Clear, regular updates
You get progress notes with measurements and photos, so you can follow healing without extra work.
Quick follow-up
We contact the patient or facility within 24–48 hours of a complete referral to verify coverage and schedule.
Support for home health and discharge
We coordinate with home health nurses and facility staff, which helps when patients leave the hospital with an open wound.

Length, width and depth at every visit, with photos, so you can see the trend over time.
A call when things change

Turnaround
How fast we respond
We review each referral and contact the patient or facility within 24–48 hours of receiving a complete referral. We verify coverage before the first visit and let your office know when it is scheduled.
Home visits are not urgent care. If a patient shows signs of a spreading infection or other emergency, please send them to the emergency room.
