➤ Support for medical treatments.
Our wound care support providers deliver a continuity of care that is effective in helping clients who are at risk of or are being treated by skilled healthcare professionals for wounds. Our registered home care aides have experience working with a wide variety of wound support and can help clients cope with the challenges of wound recovery while preventing debilitating complications that can arise with improper wound care support.
➤ Doing our part to help wounds heal.
Certified wound care support providers help clients by recommending the right support surfaces or devices that help enhance healing and prevent further wounds or complications. Our care providers help to teach self-monitoring regarding the signs and symptoms of common complications and best practices for in-home wound management and prevention.
- Keep all communication open with the healthcare team.
Perhaps most importantly, Devine Mercy Home Care Services’ care providers act as liaisons between the patients, family, and the medical team overseeing the recovery. The home care supervisor will communicate with nurses from the skilled nursing agency physicians, share observations, and describe progress or concerns.In-home wound care support helps ensure a smooth transition from an inpatient stay and home recovery, providing for continuity and adherence to discharge instructions.
- Assuring clients are kept clean and mobile.
Staying clean and moving around with limited mobility can be difficult and even dangerous for people living with wounds. Certified wound care support providers can provide increased supervision and assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and transfers, which can reduce the likelihood of falls and other household accidents. Many seniors are actually more active and less anxious when they know they’re being monitored and that help is close by. In fact, certified wound care support providers are happy to participate in activities and exercises that help maintain and promote mobility.
