Caring for patients in long-term care (LTC) facilities comes with a unique set of challenges—especially when it comes to managing chronic and complex wounds. From pressure injuries and diabetic ulcers to post-surgical complications, wound care in these settings often requires more time, attention, and expertise than traditional facility staff can provide.
At Wound Care Associates of Colorado, located in Denver and proudly serving surrounding communities, we specialize in bringing advanced mobile wound care services directly to long-term care facilities. Our goal is simple: to enhance healing, prevent complications, and reduce hospitalizations—right where patients live.
Understanding the Challenges in Long-Term Care Settings
1. Staffing Limitations
Most long-term care facilities face staffing shortages, making it difficult for nurses to dedicate the time required for complex wound assessments, dressing changes, and treatment planning. This can lead to inconsistent care and delayed healing.
2. High-Risk Populations
Many residents in LTC facilities are elderly or managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, poor circulation, or mobility limitations—all of which increase the risk of developing slow-healing wounds and complications like infections or pressure ulcers.
3. Limited Access to Specialty Care
Not all facilities have access to on-site wound care specialists. In many cases, residents must be transported to outpatient clinics, which can be logistically challenging, uncomfortable, and even risky for medically fragile individuals.
4. Pressure to Reduce Hospital Readmissions
Facilities are under increasing pressure to reduce avoidable hospitalizations. Poorly managed wounds can result in infections, sepsis, and other complications that require acute care interventions, often leading to costly and preventable readmissions.
