What you should know about Wound Care:
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic wounds caused by diabetes, vascular disease and other conditions, and these hard-to-heal wounds can only get better with constant medical intervention.
Our dedicated wound care team has scored impressive achievements in the treatment of Stage 1-4 wounds, developing specific care plans for each patient while offering them the best quality of life possible in an environment of caring. Our medical director, wound care nurses, infection control nurse, physical and occupational therapists and a dietitian comprise our skilled and experienced team. With strong community ties, our affiliated physicians in plastic surgery, general surgery, dermatology, podiatry, vascular and infectious disease provide consultation and service.
Upon admission for wound care, patients are evaluated by the wound care team to assess the wound for size, granulation, odor and drainage. Our multi-disciplinary approach includes the use of IV antibiotics, specialized air mattresses, infection control techniques and state-of-the-art equipment and devices, such as the negative pressure vacuum-assisted wound closure for reduced healing time and pain management. Pain management is a primary focus when treating wounds.
In addition to a focus on wound healing, we treat the "whole" individual, offering physical and occupational therapy, recreation programs and activities and healthy, balanced meals served three times a day in our beautiful dining room. Because nutrition plays such a key role in the healing process, our registered dietitian provides counseling and patient/family education on healthy and nutritious eating and also customizes a diet for each resident.
