    What to Expect With Our In-Home Care

    1

    Thorough Assessment

    Incision integrity, drainage, signs of infection, depth/tunneling, sutures/staples, surrounding skin health, swelling, pain level, and contributing medical conditions.

    2

    Personalized Treatment Plan

    Structured, evidence-based plan tailored to wound type, surgical history, comorbidities, risk factors, home environment, and caregiver support.

    3

    Debridement & Wound Bed Preparation

    Sharp, enzymatic, or mechanical debridement to remove non-viable tissue and optimize the wound for healing.

    4

    Infection Monitoring & Management

    Close monitoring for redness, warmth, drainage changes, fever, and tissue separation with coordination for cultures and medications as needed.

    5

    Advanced Therapies

    Cellular tissue products, moisture-balanced dressings, specialized post-operative dressings, edema control, and negative pressure wound therapy support.

    6

    Regular Follow-Up Visits

    Consistent home visits allow us to monitor healing, adjust treatment, and support patients and caregivers throughout recovery.

    Signs a Surgical Wound Needs Attention

    Seek help if you notice:

    Increasing redness or warmth
    Drainage, especially yellow or foul-smelling
    New or worsening pain
    Opening of the incision
    Fever or chills
    Hardness or swelling near the incision
    Separation of sutures or staples
    Tissue discoloration

    Prompt evaluation reduces the risk of infection and complications.
