A wound doesn’t
need a discharge
to get seen.

Physician wound rounds inside your building — so a resident who is doing well otherwise doesn’t have to leave, and doesn’t have to move to a higher level of care to get treated.

The premise

The resident who looks fine is the one to watch.

In assisted living and personal care, residents dress themselves, walk to meals, and keep their own routines. That independence is the point of the setting — and it is exactly why a pressure injury on a heel, or a venous ulcer under a sock, can go three weeks without anyone seeing it. Nobody is doing a daily skin check on someone who is managing.

When it does surface, the options are bad. Send the resident out to a wound clinic, which means transport, a family member, and most of a day. Or watch it, and hope. Too often the third option arrives on its own: the wound outruns the setting, and a resident who was thriving gets moved to skilled nursing for something that started as a manageable problem.

A physician rounding in the building changes the arithmetic. The wound gets assessed early, treated on site, and followed on a schedule — and the resident stays in the apartment they chose.

Aging in place only works if the care can travel. Ours does.

Who we serve

Four kinds of community

Licensure and staffing differ across these settings, and across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. What stays the same is that none of them are built to deliver physician-level wound care on their own.

Assisted living residencesHigher-acuity residents supported to age in place, where a wound is often the thing that threatens that plan.
Personal care homesA distinct licensure category with its own limits on the care a resident may receive while staying. Wound management on site helps keep residents within them.
Independent livingResidents managing their own health entirely. A physician visit in the apartment, arranged through the community or the family.
Continuing care retirement communitiesOne wound care relationship across the whole campus, so care follows a resident between levels instead of restarting.

What we bring

What the visit includes

Comprehensive bedside wound care delivered inside your community, on a schedule your staff can plan around.

Scheduled bedside evaluationPhysician wound evaluation and treatment in the resident’s own room or apartment, on a set rhythm rather than by exception.

Fewer moves to a higher level of careEarly, consistent wound management supports residents remaining in the setting they chose.
Less transportationReduced need for transport to hospitals, podiatrists and wound care centers — easier for your aides and residents, and cheaper for families.
