Faster wound healing rates, reduced complications, reduced risk of infections, and enhanced patient satisfaction.

• Improved wound care and outcomes contribute to resident and family satisfaction.
• Knowing that the nursing home is taking proactive measures to address wound care needs can enhance the overall perception of the facility.
• Patients are provided treatment for both acute and chronic/complex wounds in their long-term care surroundings and undergo relatively less stress than when needing to travel for wound care.
• The long-term care staff and clinical team save time and expense when patients don’t require transportation to and from medical appointments

We provide a dedicated wound professional to your facility, resulting in quicker appointment scheduling, continuity of care for your residents, and timely delivery of wound care interventions.

In addition to a facility dedicated wound professional, DV provides access to a team of interdisciplinary physicians and nurses that will collaborate on the care of the facility patients.
