Understanding Your Wound Care Needs
Every wound has its own unique challenges. You may be dealing with:
- Post-surgical incisions that require careful monitoring and dressing changes
- Diabetic foot ulcers that need specialized treatment to prevent complications
- Pressure injuries that demand consistent, professional attention
- Burns requiring advanced wound care techniques
- Non-healing wounds that haven’t improved despite previous treatments
- Complex wounds that make self-care difficult or impossible
The discomfort, anxiety, and limitations that accompany these conditions can significantly impact your daily life.
Many patients share common concerns: Will the wound heal properly? How can I prevent infection? What if my condition worsens?
These worries are natural, and they’re precisely why professional in-home wound care can make such a meaningful difference in your recovery journey.

In-Home Wound Care Services
Types of Wounds Treated
Wounds that break the skin can be difficult, especially if they are severe or do not heal as expected. It is critical to understand how to properly care for minor wounds at home, as well as which wounds require professional care.
There are several types of wounds, and each has its own treatment and care steps. Common wound types include:
- Burns: Wounds that happen when the skin is damaged by heat, chemicals, or electricity. Burn wounds can vary from mild to severe and require careful care to prevent infection and reduce scarring.
- Lacerations: Deep cuts or tears in the skin, which are often caused by accidents, may require stitches or other treatments to help them heal properly.
- Ulcers: An ulcer is essentially a chronic wound that requires more than 30 days to heal. These can result from a variety of conditions, including cancer and diabetes.
- Pressure injuries: Wounds caused by prolonged pressure, such as a bedsore. They can develop while lying in bed, sitting in a chair, or resting against an object for an extended period of time at home or in a hospital. Repositioning at least every two hours will help to prevent pressure injuries.
- Surgical incisions: Cuts made during surgery to allow the doctor to access the area being treated. Following the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions closely allows the incision to heal properly and without infection.
Wound Management and Dressing Changes
Your private nurse will completely manage your wound and expertly take care of all dressing changes. In order for your wounds to heal properly, it is imperative that you receive high-end care and management.
For example, poorly dressing wounds can lead to larger problems like infection or a port leaking.
Infection Prevention
Receiving wound care at home reduces your exposure to hospital-acquired infections, particularly important when dealing with open wounds or compromised immune systems.
Infection can cause serious complications such as sepsis, which is life-threatening. The body’s response to infection can cause widespread inflammation, resulting in organ dysfunction, tissue damage, and death. Seeing a healthcare provider at the first sign of infection is the best way to avoid complications.
Some signs include:
- Confusion or delirium, especially in older adults
- An odor coming from the wound
- Increased drainage coming from the wound, especially if it is green, yellow, or creamy
- Severe pain that does not go away with time
- Pink discoloration around the wound or streaks of red or pink leading away from the wound
- If the wound becomes bigger or looks worse
Medication and Pain Management
Home wound care, depending on the type of wound, can be incredibly painful. Your at home nurse will not only take exceptional care of your wound, but will also assist with your pain management.
This can include medication management services to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
Home Wound Care Goals
Every home wound care patient receives a care plan tailored to their goals and needs. Some common wound care plan goals are:
- Faster healing times
- Lower infection rates
- Better outcomes
- Minimal pain
- Better mobility
- Preventing new wounds or complications
- Empowering you and your caregiver to care for your wound on your own
- Avoiding unnecessary trips to the hospital
