Healing Happens Here, Not in the Hospital

Professional wound care that prevents complications and restores your life

The Hidden Danger When Nobody's Watching

That surgical incision looks "okay" to you. The diabetic sore on your foot has been there for months, so what's another day? The pressure sore from being bedbound seems manageable with bandaids.

Here's what you don't see: infection starting at the cellular level. Tissue dying from poor circulation. The beginning of a problem that sends 20 times more people to the hospital than those receiving proper wound care.

Your daughter changes the dressing daily, following the discharge instructions. But she doesn't know what proper drainage looks like. Can't tell if that redness is normal healing or dangerous cellulitis. Doesn't recognize when "stable" becomes "urgent."

Professional wound care isn't about changing bandages. It's about trained eyes catching problems before they explode into emergencies.

What Real Wound Care Looks Like

Assessment That Goes Beyond Surface Level
‍Our wound nurses don't just look - they measure, document, photograph. They track:

• Exact wound dimensions week by week
• Tissue type changes (granulation, slough, eschar)
• Drainage characteristics (amount, color, odor)
• Surrounding skin integrity
• Signs of infection before they're obvious

This documentation proves to Medicare you're healing, ensures your doctor sees progress, and catches problems immediately.

Treatment That Actually Heals
‍Hospital-grade wound care in your bedroom:

• Specialized dressings that promote healing
• Debridement when necessary
• Compression therapy for venous ulcers
• Offloading techniques for pressure wounds
• Modern moisture balance protocols

We bring the wound clinic to you, with better outcomes because you're not exhausting yourself with travel.

Prevention of What Really Threatens You
‍The wound is one problem. The complications are what kill:

• Sepsis (blood infection)
• Osteomyelitis (bone infection)
• Amputation
• Complete loss of mobility

Our nurses prevent these through vigilant monitoring and immediate intervention.

The Wounds We See Every Day

Surgical Incisions
‍That hip replacement incision. The cardiac surgery site. The abdominal surgery that won't close. Post-operative wounds fail in 3-5% of cases, unless properly managed.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers
‍The leading cause of amputation. 14-24% of diabetics with foot ulcers require amputation WITHOUT proper care. With our wound management? That risk drops to under 5%.

Pressure Injuries
‍From being bedbound or wheelchair-dependent. Stage 2 becomes Stage 4 quickly without intervention. We stop progression and reverse damage.

Venous Stasis Ulcers
‍Those weeping leg wounds that won't heal. Often present for months or years. Our specialized compression and wound therapy achieves healing in 66% of cases within 24 weeks.

Traumatic Wounds
‍Falls, accidents, skin tears. Elderly skin is paper-thin and heals slowly. We protect and accelerate healing while preventing infection.

Why Your Wound Isn't Healing (And How We Fix It)

- Poor Circulation
‍Without blood flow, wounds can't heal. We use specialized techniques to maximize circulation, position for optimal flow, and coordinate with vascular specialists.

- Infection (Even When It Doesn't Look Infected)
‍Biofilm are invisible bacterial colonies that prevent healing in 60% of chronic wounds. Our nurses recognize and treat this when others miss it.

Wrong Dressing Choice
‍That gauze and tape from CVS? Often the worst choice. We use advanced dressings: hydrocolloids, alginates, foam dressings, silver-impregnated materials, custom to whatever your wound specifically needs.

Underlying Conditions
‍Diabetes, vascular disease, nutrition deficits all impair healing. We address the whole patient, not just the hole in their skin.

Repeated Trauma
‍You keep bumping it. Pressure continues. Friction persists. We identify and eliminate trauma sources while protecting the wound.

The True Cost of Untreated Wounds

Without Proper Care:

• Emergency room visit: $2,000-5,000

Real Healing Stories from Los Angeles

"The wound vac at the hospital did nothing for six weeks. My OnlyCare nurse tried different approaches, and it finally started healing. Eight weeks later, completely closed. The hospital couldn't believe the photos."
- Richard B., Calabasas

"Mom's diabetic foot ulcer was there for two years. Two different wound clinics, no progress. The OnlyCare nurse came three times a week, and in three months it was healed. Mom kept crying, 'I can wear real shoes again.'"
- Jennifer S. (daughter), Redondo Beach

"After my mastectomy, the incision wouldn't close. Three infections, two hospitalizations. OnlyCare's wound nurse caught the fourth infection before symptoms started. Antibiotics immediately, no hospital, perfect healing."
- Patricia M., Beverly Hills

For Adult Children: Managing Mom's Wound Care

"I've been changing it daily but it looks worse."Y
ou're doing your best, but wounds are complex. Our nurses identify why it's worsening and reverse the trend.

"Dad won't let anyone touch it."
‍Wound pain creates fear. Our nurses use gentle techniques, build trust, and often achieve pain-free dressing changes.

"The doctor just says 'keep it clean and dry.'"
‍That's 1950s wound care. Modern wound management is sophisticated, specific, and successful.

"We've tried three wound clinics."
‍Clinic care means exhausting travel, waiting rooms, and generic protocols. Home care means personalized treatment in a healing environment.
