Helping you meet the challenges of hospice wound care

Our wound and ostomy experts integrate seamlessly with hospice care teams in homes, nursing facilities, and hospice centers. We offer detailed wound management plans and unlimited support to help hospice nurses, intake managers, and case managers provide enhanced care.

Here’s how we support you as you face issues, including:

Vulnerable patient population

Patients in end-of-life care have a high risk for developing wounds due to age, frailty, immobility, or illness. Our wound experts help hospice providers intervene early to prevent serious wound-related complications.

High staffing costs

Finding and hiring wound and ostomy experts is expensive and time-consuming. We provide a simple, streamlined, and cost-effective hospice staffing solution that saves resources and improves your margin.

Discouraged providers

Hospice providers are stretched thin caring for patients with complex illnesses. They may not have the time or training to provide the level of wound and ostomy care their patients need and deserve. Our expertise helps relieve this burden, so your team feels more confident.

My mother developed several wound ulcerations on her left leg that, despite conventional therapy, seemed to progress... We met weekly with [The Wound Company] via Zoom who provided advice to the hospice nurse on the best approach to treating her wounds. This was very effective in preventing further deterioration. We are very grateful for [their] counsel and support in dealing with this difficult situation.
