Our Mobile Wound Care Services
Realizing the challenges associated with accessing traditional healthcare services, especially for older adults and those with mobility issues, Preferred Healthcare is revolutionizing in-home wound treatment. With our services, convenience meets customization for wound care at your doorstep.
Our team prioritizes your comfort and integrates seamlessly with your daily routines, ensuring you or your loved ones receive the most effective and personalized wound care, tailored to each unique situation. Our certified wound care professionals are equipped to deliver comprehensive care for a wide range of wounds and treatments.
1. Infected Wounds
Infected wounds require ongoing treatment to promote healing and prevent infection from spreading to other parts of the body. During at-home visits we carefully clean all wounds, change dressings and provide treatment for infections.
2. Palliative Wound Care
Our palliative wound care services focus on patient comfort as we treat slow-healing or non-healing wounds. We offer timely management for those with skin breakdown, chronic wounds and various debilitating conditions.
3. Post-Surgical Wound Care
Following surgery it’s vital that wounds are kept clean while being monitored for signs of infection. Our post-surgical wound care services take place at your home or healthcare facility, ensuring that patients receive a positive healing experience.
4. Traumatic Wounds
Lacerations, abrasions, punctures and burns all require careful wound management for healthy rehab. The experienced professionals at Preferred Healthcare work with Atlanta area patients to deliver fast, responsive traumatic wound treatment.
5. Wound Dehiscence
In some cases surgical incisions will fail to heal correctly, causing a wound to reopen. Treatment for wound dehiscence may include surgical debridement to remove dead or infected tissue and wound dressing, all conveniently delivered where you are residing.
6. Surgical Debridements
Surgical debridement involves removing dead or infected skin cells to promote wound healing. When performed by a wound care specialist, this treatment helps prevent infection and encourage faster healing.
7. Ultrasonic Debridements
Ultrasonic debridement, an advanced wound-cleansing technique, uses sound waves to remove dead tissue and bacteria from targeted areas of the body. This painless method stimulates healthy tissue growth while reducing the risk of infection.
8. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a convenient treatment that uses suction to remove excess fluid from a wound. During a home visit, we may follow this approach to successfully clean a wound and encourage the formation of new tissue.
Our Approach to Wound Care Ensures Optimal Healing
At Preferred Healthcare our approach to wound care is meticulous and patient-centric, focusing on healing and preventing further complications. Below is a detailed overview of wound care designed for optimal healing.
Infection Prevention and Management
We specialize in the early detection of infection symptoms and respond with appropriate interventions, including administering antibiotics when necessary.
Wound Assessment
Each treatment journey begins with a comprehensive wound evaluation. This includes assessing the wound type, size and stage of healing to help develop a treatment plan.
Advanced Cleaning and Debridement
To prevent infection, our team performs thorough wound cleaning alongside skilled debridement that removes non-viable tissue. These actions promote an environment conducive to healing.
Moisture Management
We maintain the ideal moisture balance within the wound bed by using cutting-edge dressings, an important technique to assist with optimal healing.
Pain Management
We put patient comfort first, and employ effective pain management strategies throughout the treatment process.
Education and Support
Empowering patients and their caregivers with essential wound care management and preventive techniques is a cornerstone of our service.
Follow-up and Continuous Care
