We at Healing Hands Home Care are dedicated to providing a more comprehensive, standardized wound healing protocol that allows for nurse consistency in wound management. Our staff uses a multi-disciplinary approach, our team of nurses and therapists work under the guidance of the patient’s primary physician and together treat the wound. The underlying medical and surgical problems that prevent successful wound healing are also assessed. Proper diet, specialized wound care, and management of existing conditions have proven to help heal difficult and/or chronic wounds.
Our dedicated wound nurses are frequently updated and trained on new wound-healing strategies under the supervision of our Director of Nursing, who is Wound Care Certified and follows strict Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurse (WCON) guidelines. Through digital imagery, a physician can assess the success level of the wound treatment plan. Constant communication between the wound care nurse and the patient’s physician is needed to ensure that all available treatment options are exhausted. We are dedicated to caring for patients with wounds and helping them to heal.
