Overview
Wound Care at home with Avistacare
Wounds that are slow to heal can affect comfort, mobility and overall quality of life. Our wound care service provides consistent, professional attention at home, so wounds are cleaned, dressed and monitored correctly between physician visits.
Every client receives an individualized treatment plan. Our nurses assess the wound, follow your physician's orders, and use advanced wound care technologies and techniques where appropriate. Just as importantly, we watch closely for changes, so that any sign of infection or delayed healing can be reported promptly to your doctor.
We also take time to teach. Understanding how to protect the wound, what to look for between visits and how nutrition and positioning affect healing helps patients and caregivers play an active role in recovery.
What our Wound Care service includes
Depending on your needs and your physician's plan, wound care visits may include:
Wound Assessment
Regular measurement and evaluation of the wound to track healing over time.
Cleaning & Dressing Changes
Proper cleaning and dressing using the materials and techniques specified in your plan of care.
Surgical Wound Care
Care of incisions after surgery to support healthy recovery at home.
Infection Monitoring
Close observation for signs of infection, with prompt communication to your physician.

Who can benefit from Wound Care?
Our wound care service supports people with surgical wounds, pressure injuries, wounds related to diabetes or circulation, and other wounds that need regular professional attention to heal.
Having wound care delivered at home reduces the need for frequent trips to a clinic and allows our nurses to consider factors in the home environment, such as seating, bedding and mobility, that may influence healing.
