Foot Wound Care at Home

Foot wounds and diabetic ulcers need regular, careful treatment to heal. Home visits make it easier to keep up with wound care and catch infections early, without repeated trips out of the house.

Signs it's time for a visit

  • An open sore on the foot or toes
  • Drainage on socks or bedding
  • Redness, warmth or swelling around a wound
  • A wound that isn't getting better

What happens during the home visit

  • Wound cleaning and dressing care
  • Taking pressure off the wound
  • Watching for signs of infection
  • Working with the patient's primary care provider and home health nurses
