Understanding Wound Care
Wounds can be challenging to manage, especially for seniors who may heal more slowly. Our Wound Care service provides specialised treatment through careful cleaning, dressing, and ongoing monitoring to prevent infection and encourage healing. By addressing each wound with expertise and compassion, we help seniors regain comfort and confidence while reducing health risks.
How Wound Care Works
Our approach to wound care is thorough and patient-focused, ensuring safe, effective recovery at every step:
Initial Assessment A healthcare professional evaluates the type, size, depth, and underlying causes of the wound, such as diabetes or immobility, to create a personalised care plan.
Cleaning and Debridement The wound is carefully cleaned, and any dead tissue or debris is removed to reduce infection risk and promote healing.
Personalised Dressing Selection Specific dressings are chosen based on the wound’s needs to maintain a moist, protective environment that encourages tissue regeneration.
Regular Dressing Changes Dressings are changed on a schedule, with progress carefully assessed at each visit to ensure healing stays on track.
Monitoring for Infection and Complications The wound is closely monitored for signs of infection or complications, allowing timely interventions if needed.
Patient and Caregiver Education We provide guidance on proper wound care and lifestyle adjustments to promote healing and prevent future issues.
Ongoing Assessment and Adjustments The care plan is regularly reviewed and updated, ensuring the wound heals effectively and the patient’s overall health is supported.
