Venous stasis ulcers: Caused by poor blood circulation in the legs, these ulcers are treated with compression therapy and careful wound care.
Surgical wound: Post-operative care for surgical incisions, including those that have become infected or are healing poorly.
Traumatic wounds: Injuries from accidents, such as cuts, burns, or punctures, requiring expert care to minimize infection and promote healing.
Arterial ulcers: These complex wounds are caused by inadequate blood flow to the limbs and need comprehensive management to improve circulation and wound care.

At APEX Health Services, we’re proud to offer specialized care plans for these and other chronic wounds. We have particular expertise in addressing large and difficult-to-heal wounds requiring advanced intervention.

What Are the Benefits of Home Wound Care?
Home wound care offers numerous benefits that significantly enhance the healing process and improve the overall quality of life for patients:
Comfort and Familiarity
Healing at home allows patients to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment, which can positively impact their mental and emotional well-being.
Reduced Infection Risk
Receiving care at home minimizes exposure to hospital-borne infections, a crucial advantage for individuals with open wounds or compromised immune systems.
Personalized Attention
Home wound care typically provides more one-on-one time with healthcare providers to guarantee that care is closely tailored to the patient’s needs.
Flexibility
Home wound care schedules can be more flexible than hospital visits, allowing treatments to fit seamlessly into the patient’s daily routine.
Family Involvement
Wound care at home enables family members to be more involved in the patient's care process, providing emotional support and learning how to assist with wound management.
Coordinated Care
Regular updates to referring physicians ensure all healthcare providers remain informed about treatment progress.
Reduced Hospitalization Risk
Consistent monitoring and early intervention for wound complications help prevent emergency room visits, reduce hospital readmissions, and prevent more severe outcomes like amputations that can result from inadequately managed wounds.
Overall, home wound care provides a holistic approach to treatment, prioritizing the patient’s physical and emotional well-being while ensuring continuity of care throughout the healing journey. We’re here to step in and help if any issues or questions arise.

Melody is the best nurse I have ever had, and I have had a lot throughout my illness. We would not be alive today without her help when we had COVID.
I was alone at care for my husband at the end of his life and Yolanda did not hesitate to jump in and save the day. She took great care of him and is truly a life saver.
Our family felt incredibly supported by the entire APEX team
I was always supported by Dorina in the office, she is supportive, and I received adequate help every time I called, which was a lot. I never felt like a bother.
We are impressed by the communication and care our mutual patient received from APEX Palliative Care. Excellent collaborations…..

Your team was great! My entire family believed that APEX, especially Mary, pulled miracles on Friday evening when my mom was admitted. Somehow your team was able to get a hospital bed, oxygen, a shower chair, and medications within hours. This is a truly amazing service. My mom was a mess this weekend and we could not have managed her care without the APEX team. Sweglo Family
