Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions require mobile wound and ostomy care?
Mobile wound care is beneficial for individuals with various acute and chronic wounds, including post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, burns, venous ulcers, and traumatic injuries. If you have a wound that isn’t healing properly, is prone to infection, or causes significant discomfort, our specialized care can help. Ostomy care is essential for individuals with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies who need assistance with pouch changes, skin irritation, leakage issues, or general ostomy management. Our team ensures proper healing and helps prevent complications.
How often will a wound care specialist visit me at home?
The frequency of visits depends on your specific condition, the severity of your wound, and how well it is healing. Some patients require daily or multiple visits per week, especially for advanced wounds or post-surgical recovery. Others may need weekly check-ups for ongoing wound management and ostomy care. After an initial assessment, we create a personalized care plan and adjust visit frequency based on your progress and medical needs.
What can I expect during a mobile wound or ostomy care visit?
Each visit begins with a thorough assessment of your wound or ostomy site to monitor healing progress and identify any potential complications. Our specialists will clean and dress wounds using sterile techniques, apply advanced wound care treatments if needed, and check for signs of infection. For ostomy patients, we provide assistance with pouch changes, skin care recommendations, troubleshooting leaks, and education on proper self-care. Additionally, we offer guidance on nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments that may impact wound healing and ostomy health.
Can mobile wound care help prevent infections?
Yes. Infection is one of the biggest risks associated with chronic wounds and ostomies, but proper wound care can significantly reduce this risk. Our specialists follow strict sterile techniques, use advanced dressings, and provide education on wound hygiene to minimize the chances of infection. Regular monitoring also ensures that any early signs of infection—such as redness, swelling, or unusual discharge—are addressed promptly before they become serious.
Do you provide care for new ostomy patients?
Yes. Adjusting to an ostomy can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. Our team provides compassionate, hands-on support for new ostomy patients, guiding them through pouch management, skincare, and troubleshooting leaks or discomfort. We also educate patients on diet modifications, hydration, and lifestyle adjustments that can help prevent complications. Our goal is to help ostomy patients regain confidence and independence in managing their care.
