Comprehensive wound assessment & diagnosis
Every treatment plan starts with a complete evaluation at the bedside — so care is based on what the wound actually needs.
How we help
At the first visit, a licensed wound care clinician measures the wound’s length, width and depth, photographs it, and checks the tissue in the wound bed, the drainage and the skin around it.
We also look at what slows healing: circulation, pressure on the area, diabetes and other conditions, medications, nutrition and mobility. The result is a written plan of care that we share with the patient’s physician and care team, and update as the wound changes.
Who it helps
- New wounds that need a clear plan from the start
- Wounds that have stopped improving
- Patients just discharged from the hospital or a skilled nursing stay
- Home health and facility patients who need a wound specialist’s input

Common questions
How long does the first visit take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number and size of wounds.
Do you share the assessment with the doctor?
Yes. The plan of care, measurements and photos go to the patient’s physician and, when involved, the home health agency or facility.
How often is the wound reassessed?
At every visit. Measurements are repeated so progress is easy to see and the plan can change if healing slows.
