Close, caring attention to a patient's hands during in-home wound care

Diabetic wounds need close, consistent attention

Diabetic foot ulcers can be serious. Diabetes slows healing and can dull the feeling in the feet, so a small sore may grow before it’s noticed. That’s why consistent, expert eyes matter — and why we come to you on a regular schedule, so problems get caught early instead of falling through the gaps between clinic visits you couldn’t get to.

How we help

Thorough wound assessment and staging
Advanced dressings and wound management
Infection monitoring and prompt action
Guidance on offloading pressure and protecting the skin
Walking alongside your physician and diabetes care team

Helping protect against amputation

The goal isn’t only to heal the wound in front of us — it’s to help prevent the complications that can lead to hospital stays or amputation. Consistent care at home, and catching trouble early, is a big part of that. We stay with you until the wound graduates.

What a visit looks like

Every visit, your nurse practitioner checks the wound and the skin around it, measures whether it’s improving, changes the dressing, and looks for the early signs of infection or pressure that are easy to miss on your own. We keep clear notes your doctor can see, and we adjust the plan as the wound changes — because a diabetic wound rarely heals in a straight line. If offloading a pressure point or protecting a heel would help, we’ll show you and your family exactly how, using what you already have at home.

What to watch for between visits

You don’t have to be the expert — that’s our job. But a few changes are worth a call to us or your provider right away:

New redness, warmth, or swelling around the wound
Drainage that increases, changes color, or begins to smell
A fever, or simply feeling unwell
New numbness, or a fresh sore or blister anywhere on your feet

Checking the feet every day — tops, bottoms, and between the toes — is one of the simplest habits that makes the biggest difference. If that’s hard to see or reach, a spouse, adult child, or caregiver can help, and we’ll show them what to look for. Whoever you want involved in your care is welcome; we treat every patient the way we’d want our own family cared for.

We verify your benefits before the first visit — see how coverage works, or request a visit and we’ll come to you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can diabetic foot ulcers really be treated at home?

Yes. Our nurse practitioners provide diabetic wound care in your home — assessment, advanced dressings, infection monitoring, and offloading guidance — coordinated with your doctor.

Is it covered?

We verify your benefits first. Medicare Part B typically covers about 80% and a supplement usually covers the rest — we confirm your exact coverage up front, no surprises.

How often will you visit?

As often as the wound needs — usually on a regular weekly schedule that we adjust as it improves. Consistency is what keeps a small problem from becoming a big one.

Will you work with my regular doctor?

Always. We walk alongside your physician and diabetes care team, share our notes, and reach out when something changes. We're partners in your care, not a replacement for it.

Ready to heal at home?
