Our Wound Care Process
Assessment
Wound care begins with a thorough evaluation of the wound’s type, size, depth, and any signs of infection. Clinicians also assess contributing factors such as immobility, fragile skin, diabetes, and other underlying health conditions to ensure an accurate diagnosis and personalized plan of care.
Treatment
An individualized treatment plan is put into place, which may include cleansing, specialized dressings, debridement, and pressure relief strategies. The goal is to promote healing, reduce pain, protect surrounding skin, and prevent infection or further breakdown.
