About Our Services

What is bedside wound care?

Bedside wound care is a specialized medical service where wound assessments and treatments are performed directly at the patient’s bedside in a nursing home or post-acute care facility. Instead of transporting patients to a hospital or outpatient clinic, our mobile wound care providers deliver on-site evaluations, treatment recommendations, and procedures.

This approach improves patient comfort, reduces transportation risks, and allows for faster intervention, making it an ideal solution for elderly patients and residents in skilled nursing facilities.

Our wound care specialists treat a wide range of acute and chronic wounds in nursing home and post-acute care patients, including, but not limited to:

  • Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Venous stasis ulcers
  • Arterial ulcers
  • Infected wounds
  • Chronic, non-healing wounds
  • Traumatic wounds
  • Skin tears and abrasions
  • Moisture associated skin damage (MASD)
  • Incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD)
  • Lymphedema wounds
  • Burns
  • Surgical wounds (referred by the surgical team)
  • Atypical wounds

We focus on wound care management for patients with complex medical conditions, helping facilities improve healing rates and reduce complications.

Post-acute care refers to medical and rehabilitative services provided after hospitalization or for patients who require ongoing clinical care. Our services are designed for:

  • Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
  • Long-term care facilities
  • Rehabilitation centers


If your facility provides ongoing medical care, wound management, or rehabilitation services, you likely qualify for our on-site wound care consultation services. We work closely with administrators and clinical teams to integrate seamlessly into your care model.

We offer flexible, weekly recurring wound care rounds based on your facility’s needs. Our goal is to provide consistent access to specialized wound care providers in nursing homes.

Our clinicians perform a variety of advanced bedside wound care procedures in skilled nursing facilities, including:

  • Wound debridement (sharp and selective)
  • Advanced wound dressing selection and management
  • Infection evaluation and treatment recommendations
  • Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) management
  • Minor procedures and biopsies (when appropriate)

 

Patients may require transfer to a hospital or specialized care center if they need:

  • Surgical wound intervention
  • Advanced imaging or diagnostic testing beyond facility capabilities
  • Treatment for severe infections such as sepsis
  • Vascular procedures or limb-saving interventions

 

Our team helps facilities determine the appropriate level of care, reducing unnecessary hospital transfers while ensuring patient safety.

Getting Started & Partnerships

Getting started with our mobile wound care services for nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities is simple and streamlined. We begin with an initial meeting to understand your facility’s needs, patient population, and current wound care processes.

From there, we:

  • Coordinate with your administrative and clinical leadership
  • Establish a customized on-site wound care program
  • Schedule a meet and greet with your incoming wound care clinician

Our onboarding process is designed to make it easy for post-acute care facilities to access expert wound care specialists quickly, with minimal disruption to your daily operations.

Implementation of our wound care consultation program for skilled nursing facilities is fast and efficient. Most facilities are fully onboarded within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on scheduling and credentialing requirements.

Our team handles the setup process, including:

  • Clinical coordination and scheduling
  • Documentation workflows
  • Staff communication and education


We prioritize a smooth launch so your residents can begin receiving specialized bedside wound care services as quickly as possible.

Our team is experienced in working within a wide range of electronic health record (EHR) systems used in nursing homes and post-acute care settings. We can integrate directly into your existing workflows or provide secure documentation that is easily uploaded into your system.
We currently integrate:

  • PointClickCare
  • MatrixCare


Our goal is to ensure seamless communication and accurate record-keeping while delivering high-quality wound care management in post-acute care environments.

At this time, our mobile wound care team primarily serves healthcare facilities throughout Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA), Rhode Island (RI), and North Carolina (NC). These regions allow us to maintain rapid response times, consistent provider availability, and the high standard of bedside wound care our partners expect.

If your facility is located outside of these states, we still encourage you to reach out. We are actively expanding our mobile wound care services and may be able to:

  • Coordinate care solutions for multi-state organizations
  • Evaluate new service areas based on demand
  • Provide guidance, referrals, or future availability timelines


Our goal is to make specialized wound care services accessible to skilled nursing facilities and long-term care providers across a broader geographic footprint.

Credentials & Quality

Our clinicians are highly qualified wound care specialists serving skilled nursing facilities and post-acute care settings. Our team includes board-certified physicians (MDs) and licensed nurse practitioners (NPs) with advanced training in wound care management, chronic wound treatment, and bedside procedures.

Many of our providers hold industry-recognized certifications from the American Board of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (ABPLM), American Board of Wound Management, American Board of Wound Healing, American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, and National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy such as:

  • Certified Wound Specialist (CWS)
  • Certified Wound Specialist Physician (CWSP)
  • Wound Care Certified (WCC)
  • Certified Wound Ostomy Nurse (CWON)

 

Our clinicians stay current with the latest wound care practices, ensuring your facility receives expert guidance aligned with modern standards of care in long-term care and rehabilitation environments.

We focus on delivering measurable improvements in wound healing outcomes in nursing homes and post-acute care facilities. Our program tracks and reports key performance indicators (KPIs) to demonstrate clinical effectiveness and support quality initiatives.

We monitor:

  • Wound healing rates and time to closure
  • Reduction in wound size and severity
  • Total wounds healed


Facilities receive regular, transparent reporting that supports:

  • Quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) programs
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Clinical decision-making


Our data-driven approach helps facilities improve outcomes while strengthening their reputation for high-quality wound care services.

The Center of Excellence and Center of Distinction designations recognize facilities that demonstrate superior performance in wound care outcomes, clinical quality, and patient care standards within post-acute care settings.

These recognitions are typically based on:

  • Wound healing outcomes
  • Short-stay pressure outcomes
  • Long-stay pressure outcomes
  • Facility implementation and support of wound program
  • Active participation and review of wound healing outcome data

 

Center of Excellence generally recognizes facilities that meet high performance benchmarks, while Center of Distinction is awarded to top-performing facilities that exceed those standards and demonstrate sustained clinical success.

Our team supports your facility in achieving these recognitions by:

  • Implementing best practices in advanced wound care management
  • Providing ongoing clinical oversight and staff education
  • Tracking and reporting outcomes aligned with industry benchmarks

 

These designations can enhance your facility’s reputation, support marketing efforts, and demonstrate a commitment to exceptional patient care in skilled nursing and long-term care environments.

Billing & Cost

Our mobile wound care services for skilled nursing facilities and post-acute care settings are typically billed directly to Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, and commercial insurance carriers—not to the facility.

Our clinicians document and bill for medically necessary wound care evaluations, management, and procedures in accordance with payer guidelines. This means:

  • Services are covered similarly to other physician or nurse practitioner visits in nursing homes
  • We handle coding, documentation, and claims submission

 

This model allows facilities to provide specialized bedside wound care without adding significant overhead, while ensuring residents receive care that is compliant with payer requirements.

There are no upfront costs to implement our on-site wound care consultation program for nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

We structure our services to be:

  • Low-risk for facilities
  • Easy to implement without capital investment
  • Aligned with existing reimbursement models


Our goal is to remove financial barriers so your facility can quickly access expert wound care specialists and improve patient outcomes without impacting your operating budget.

Partnering with our mobile wound care provider team is often more cost-effective than building and maintaining an in-house wound care program.

An internal program can require:

  • Hiring or contracting specialized staff
  • Ongoing training and certification costs
  • Additional administrative and documentation burden
  • Variable clinical expertise depending on staffing


In contrast, our service provides:

  • Immediate access to experienced wound care physicians and nurse practitioners
  • Consistent, results driven wound care practices
  • Reduced hospital readmissions and wound-related complications
  • Support for regulatory compliance and quality initiatives


Because our services are typically billed to Medicare or insurance, facilities can enhance their clinical capabilities without the fixed costs associated with staffing and program development.

For Patients/Families

Yes. Family members and caregivers can absolutely inquire about our bedside wound care services in nursing homes and post-acute care facilities.

While our mobile wound care specialists partner directly with facilities, families play an important role in advocating for their loved one’s care. If you believe your family member would benefit from advanced wound care treatment, you can:

  • Speak with the facility’s nursing or administrative team
  • Request a wound care consultation
  • Ask if the facility partners with an external wound care provider like our team

We are happy to coordinate with facility staff to determine eligibility and ensure your loved one receives appropriate, timely care.

The best way to confirm whether your loved one’s facility works with our wound care consultation team for skilled nursing facilities is to:

  • Ask the Director of Nursing (DON) or facility administrator
  • Contact the facility’s care team directly
  • Reach out to us with the facility name and location

If the facility is already partnered with us, we can help facilitate a wound care evaluation at the bedside. If not, we can discuss options for introducing our mobile wound care services to the facility.

Our goal is to make it easy for families to access high-quality wound care in long-term care settings, ensuring residents receive expert attention without unnecessary hospital visits.
