What is Wound Care?
Wound care is necessary for individuals who suffer from chronic and non-healing wounds. Proper wound care prevents infections, reduces pain, minimizes scarring, speeds up the recovery process for wounds that can be healed, and prevents non-healing wounds from deteriorating.
At any given time about 6 million Americans suffer from chronic non-healing wounds. Chronic wounds often develop as a result of complications from diabetes, long-term illnesses, immobility, burns, and vascular disorders.
Wound Care Practices at Elmwood Terrace
At Elmwood Terrace, we tailor wound care to our guest’s specific condition and needs. Typical wound care includes the following:
- Administration of medication to reduce pain and swelling.
- Treatment of existing infection with antibiotics and other medication.
- Cleansing the wound by flushing it with water and other safe liquid cleaning solutions.
- Removing dirt, dead skin, and other objects from the wound.
- Dressing the wound with bandages, gauze, gel, foam, or other dressings to prevent infection, retain moisture, and promote healing.
- Ensuring proper diet to provide guests with necessary nutrients. This helps our team make sure the body has all the vitamins and minerals it needs during the healing process.
