Chronic & Non-Healing Wound Care at Home

When a wound won’t heal, we don’t give up on it

Some wounds resist healing for weeks or months, often because of circulation, infection, or an underlying condition. They need steady, specialized attention, and someone who keeps showing up. That’s us. Our nurse practitioners come to your home on a consistent schedule and stay with a stubborn wound until it turns the corner.

Wounds we manage

• Venous stasis ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Infected wounds
• Partial-thickness burns
• Pyoderma ulcers
• Other complex or non-healing wounds

A steady plan, delivered at home

Chronic wounds heal through consistent, expert care, assessment, advanced dressings, infection monitoring, and a plan we adjust over time, walking alongside your physician the whole way. We stay with you until the wound is fully healed, and we’re here after that if you ever need us again.

Why some wounds stall

A wound that won’t close usually has a reason behind it, and finding that reason is half the work. Poor circulation, ongoing pressure on the area, too much or too little moisture, lingering infection, diabetes, and nutrition all affect how a wound heals. Part of what our nurse practitioners do on each visit is look past the wound itself to what’s holding it back, and then coordinate with your doctor to address it, rather than just re-dressing the same wound week after week.

What a visit looks like

Each visit, we measure the wound to see whether it’s truly making progress, clean and dress it with the right advanced products for its stage, watch closely for infection, and update the plan based on what the wound is telling us. We document everything so your physician and home health team stay in the loop, and we tell you plainly how it’s going, good news or not. Whoever you want alongside you, a spouse, an adult child, a caregiver, is part of the conversation.

How we manage your care

Good wound care isn't a single treatment. It's a process, followed the same way every visit, so nothing gets missed between one visit and the next.

• We assess first. On the first visit, your nurse practitioner examines and measures the wound, reviews your health history and medications, and looks at what's happening around the wound: circulation, pressure, moisture, infection, and nutrition all shape how a wound heals.
• We establish the diagnosis. From that assessment, your nurse practitioner identifies what kind of wound this is and what's driving it, because a plan of care only works when it's built on the right diagnosis.
• We build a plan of care with you. An individualized plan, built with you and whoever you want involved: the right advanced dressings for the wound's stage, a visit schedule, offloading or protection where it helps, and clear goals.
• We document every visit. We measure whether the wound is truly making progress, record what we see, and adjust the plan as the wound changes. Those notes keep your whole care team working from the same information.
• We coordinate with your physician and home health team. We share our documentation, coordinate wound care orders and keep them current with your physician, and reach out when something changes, walking alongside your doctors and home health nurses, not around them, until the wound is fully healed.
