Wound Care Coordination with Home Health Agencies in South Florida
Home health agencies often carry patients whose wounds need more focused, longitudinal follow-up than a standard nursing visit allows. Palm Wound Care works alongside agencies as a wound-focused complement to their existing care plan.
Overview
Home health agencies often carry patients whose wounds need more focused, longitudinal follow-up than a standard nursing visit allows. Palm Wound Care works alongside agencies as a wound-focused complement to their existing care plan, not as a replacement for the agency’s nursing visits.
The objective is alignment, not duplication. Agency case managers receive shared wound documentation, the treating physician’s office stays informed of progress, and the patient experiences one wound plan instead of two. Coordination with PT, OT, and aide schedules is built into the visit cadence so the patient is not over-visited or asked to repeat the same conversation with multiple visitors. When the patient is hospitalized and returns home, the wound thread is preserved rather than restarted.
What this looks like

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about home health wound care
How do you coordinate with our case managers?
Documentation is shared after each visit. We use the agency’s preferred channel — secure email, fax, or upload — and we are available by phone for case-conference calls.
Does this affect our episode under PDGM?
No. Palm Wound Care visits are a separate service that complements the agency’s episode. Documentation supports the agency’s clinical record without altering it.
Can we refer specific complex cases only?
Yes. Many agency partners use Palm Wound Care selectively for non-healing, complex, or higher-acuity wounds.
