Wound care that starts before the wound.

What your facility gets

The partnership in practice.

Facility-wide prevention

Our goal is to prevent wounds, not just treat them. During every wound round, our providers evaluate new admissions, referred residents, and those at risk for skin breakdown. By incorporating prevention into every visit, we identify concerns early, helping reduce facility-acquired pressure injuries and improve resident outcomes.

Treatment in your facility

Our providers deliver expert bedside care, allowing residents to remain in the comfort of their familiar surroundings while reducing unnecessary transportation, minimizing disruption to facility operations, and improving the overall care experience.

Empowering your clinical team

Exceptional wound care starts with a knowledgeable team. Our wound-certified clinical educators provide ongoing education, bedside mentoring, and evidence-based guidance that strengthens staff confidence, reinforces best practices, and helps improve resident outcomes.

Timely clinical documentation

Our providers communicate new orders, treatment recommendations, and important clinical findings directly with your nursing team before leaving the facility. Complete documentation is finalized within 24 hours and electronically integrated into the medical record, supporting seamless continuity of care.

Your trusted clinical partner

We become an extension of your clinical team, working alongside administrators, Directors of Nursing, Primary Care, and frontline staff to coordinate care, communicate timely clinical recommendations, and support better outcomes for your residents and your facility.

How it works

In your building, start to finish.

  1. You refer

    Your team identifies the resident and sends the referral. We handle intake from there — and scheduled prevention rounds keep eyes on the rest of the building.

  2. We assess and treat

    Our providers evaluate each wound at the bedside and set an evidence-based plan that adjusts as healing progresses.

  3. Timely clinical documentation

    Orders and recommendations are communicated to your team before providers leave, and complete documentation is finalized within 24 hours and electronically integrated into the medical record.
