Wound care that
arrives at the
bedside.
Board-certified physicians round on site in senior living and post-acute facilities, and make house calls to homebound patients. The patient stays where they are.

A wound doesn’t wait for a transport van.
In a skilled nursing or assisted living building, the standard path for a complex wound runs outward: a referral to an outpatient clinic, a transport arrangement, a family member taking a morning off, a resident sitting in a waiting room for two hours, and a note that comes back four days later. Repeat weekly. For a frail patient, each round trip carries its own risk, and the wound is assessed by a different set of eyes each time it is seen at all.
When a physician rounds inside the building instead, the sequence collapses. Assessment happens at the bedside with the chart, the nursing staff, and the actual dressing in the room. Orders are written on the spot. The plan is explained to the person who will carry it out on the next shift, not faxed to them. And because the same physician returns on the next round, change over time is measured against a consistent judgment.
That is the whole premise of AFRA. It is not a new technology and it is not a different modality of treatment. It is the ordinary practice of wound medicine, relocated to where the patient already is.
The care is the same care. What changes is who does the traveling.
Three settings. One team.
We credential with the facility, work inside its existing rounding and documentation rhythm, and bring the physician to wherever the resident is — a building, or a home.
Skilled nursing & long-term care
Short-stay rehab, long-stay residents, and long-term care — wound rounds on a schedule your DON can plan staffing around.
Skilled nursing →Assisted living, independent living & CCRCs
Residents who manage most of their day independently but cannot reasonably travel weekly for a dressing change and reassessment.
Assisted living →Private homes
House calls for homebound patients, coordinated with the referring home health agency and the patient’s family caregivers.
