Wound care is often a key part of home care, and all VNS Health nurses are highly skilled in caring for most wounds. Your nurse will care for the wound itself and monitor the healing progress to keep an eye out for complications. If you or your loved one has a serious wound that needs special care, VNS Health has wound experts that your nurse can bring in.
How Our Wound Care Team Supports Your Healing Process
Going home with a healing wound following a surgery or accident can be scary. Your wound recovery may look different from someone else’s, and that’s normal. Our team ensures that you get the care, tools, and resources you need.
When you’re recovering from a wound, it’s important to have someone providing expert service. But at VNS Health, we also want to help you become an expert in your own care.
Your wound care nurse will make sure you are able to:
- Change your own or your loved one’s wound dressings
- Monitor your healing
- Manage your pain
- Recognize complications you should tell your doctor about
Having this knowledge gives you more control over your healing process. Our wound nurses can give you and your loved ones the tools and resources to care for a wound when your wound care nurse can’t be there.
