Benefits of In-Home Wound Care

Ultimately, this leads to improved outcomes, ensuring faster healing and a smoother recovery process.
Wound Care Services
Post-Surgical Wound Care
Wound care is essential for healing after any operation. We follow the surgeon’s post surgical plan to provide targeted care to prevent infection, encourage healing, monitor for complications and help address changes to the plan when a surgeon’s plan changes.
Diabetic Wound Care
Effective wound care is essential for healing and preventing infections, particularly for diabetic ulcers or slow-healing wounds. We provide in-home debridement, wound cleaning, dressing changes, circulation monitoring, and diabetes management education.
Chronic Wound Care
Managing chronic wounds, such as treating bed sores at home, requires ongoing support from skilled professionals to prevent infection and promote healing. Our wound care nursing and physical therapy team provides services like debridement, wound cleaning, dressing changes, and continuous monitoring.
Wound Vac (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy)
Our wound experts assist individuals in using a wound vac for healing. Services include regular dressing changes, troubleshooting leaks or malfunctions, monitoring wound healing progress, and managing the wound vac drain.
Catheter Management
Our wound care home health team are masters in the monitoring, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Foley, suprapubic, and intermittent catheters. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including catheter insertion or replacement, routine care, management of complications, maintenance of drainage bags, and education for patients.
Enterostomal Therapy & Care
Certified wound care nurses assess and manage clients with colostomies, ileostomies, or urostomies. Our care includes monitoring the stoma and surrounding skin, preventing and treating complications, providing ongoing support for lifestyle modifications, and offering education.
The Blue Skies Approach to Wound Care

Healing:
Specialized In-Home Treatment
At Blue Skies Nursing, our wound care nurse and physical therapy team—including wound care nurses, registered nurses (RNs), physical therapists and licensed practical nurses (LPNs)—delivers expert care directly to your home. From treating bedsores at home to managing post-surgical wounds, chronic wounds, and diabetic ulcers, we use advanced therapies like wound vacs and debridement to accelerate healing and reduce the risk of infection or complications.

Monitoring:
Continuous, Compassionate Oversight
Wounds require more than occasional check-ins—they need skilled, ongoing attention. Our wound care home health services ensure that a physical therapist, registered nurse (RN), or licensed practical nurses (LPN) are closely tracking your healing progress, making timely adjustments to care plans, and preventing setbacks. This personalized oversight makes all the difference in achieving successful outcomes.

Empowerment:
Education for Lifelong Care
Long-term wound care success depends on understanding and self-management. Our team offers hands-on education about catheter care, ostomy management, diabetes-related wound prevention, and lifestyle modifications. With support from a registered nurse, wound care professional or physical therapist, clients and caregivers gain the knowledge and confidence to manage wounds safely and independently at home.
