Overview
Assisted living residents often have wounds that need consistent follow-up but do not warrant a clinic trip. Palm Wound Care provides scheduled in-community visits with documentation shared back to the resident’s primary care provider and family.
Residents in assisted living typically maintain their own primary care relationships, often with a community-based physician. Palm Wound Care holds the wound thread between those primary care visits — scheduled in-apartment or in-community visits, family communication through the resident’s designated contact, coordination with any home health agency working with the resident, and continuity if the resident is briefly hospitalized and returns to the community.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about assisted living wound care
Do you visit the resident’s apartment or a common room?
Whichever the resident and community prefer. The visit is structured to be unobtrusive and respectful of community routines.
How are families kept informed?
Each resident has a designated family or care-coordinator contact who receives updates after each visit, on the cadence agreed at onboarding.
What happens if the resident is hospitalized?
We resume coordinated visits when the resident returns to the community, with a fresh assessment factoring in whatever changed during the hospital stay.
