Who Needs In-Home Wound Care?
Healing at home is a great option for anyone recovering from a recent surgery, a serious injury, or dealing with chronic health conditions that make natural healing difficult. Our nursing team regularly visits homes to treat:
- Surgical incisions and post-op wounds
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
- Venous and arterial leg ulcers
- Skin tears and traumatic injuries
- Severe burns
What to Expect from Our Nursing Team
Our Registered Nurses (RNs) work closely with your primary care doctor or surgeon to follow your prescribed care plan. Your in-home visits will typically include:
- Expert Dressing Changes: We handle everything from basic sterile wrappings to managing Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Wound VACs) as directed by your physician.
- Infection Monitoring: We carefully assess the wound and surrounding skin during every visit to watch for and report any early signs of infection.
- Wound Cleaning and Debridement: We gently clean and maintain the wound bed to support the body's natural recovery process.
- Pain Management Support: We assist with your prescribed medications and use gentle techniques to help keep you as comfortable as possible during dressing changes.
- Family Education: We teach you and your family caregivers what warning signs to look for, how to maintain proper hygiene, how to protect the area between our visits, as well as your rights as a home health care agency patient.
The Benefits of Care at Home
Recovering at home allows you to minimize your exposure to crowded clinic waiting rooms. It also spares patients with limited mobility the physical stress of traveling to appointments multiple times a week. For families, having a licensed professional actively involved in the care process—and coordinating directly with the patient's medical team—provides valuable support and guidance during a stressful time.

Our certified wound care nurses are available for home visits and ongoing monitoring throughout Madison and the greater Dane County area.
