Mobile wound care services for group homes, adult family homes, and residential care facilities serving developmentally disabled or elderly residents.
Group homes and residential care facilities serve vulnerable populations who may not always be able to communicate discomfort or recognize wounds developing. Healix360 provides expert mobile wound care directly to your facility, working with your care staff to treat wounds promptly, prevent complications, and maintain residents' health and comfort. We understand the unique needs of developmentally disabled adults, elderly residents with dementia, and others in residential care who require specialized attention and gentle approach.
Group home residents face unique wound care challenges:
Common in residents with limited mobility, wheelchair users, or bedridden individuals. Often develop on sacrum, heels, ischial tuberosities (sitting bones), and other bony prominences. Early detection crucial—we train staff to recognize early warning signs (Stage I redness) before wounds progress.
Prevention focus: Repositioning schedules, pressure-relieving surfaces, skin inspection protocols
Many group home residents have diabetes with neuropathy, putting them at high risk for foot wounds they may not feel. Regular foot checks essential but often overlooked. Wounds can progress rapidly to infection without proper monitoring.
Our approach: Regular foot assessments, diabetic shoe fittings, staff education on foot care
Fragile elderly skin or behavioral incidents can cause skin tears, bruising, or lacerations. Residents with self-injurious behaviors require specialized wound care and prevention strategies. Coordination with behavioral health team important.
Treatment: Gentle closure techniques, protective dressings, environment modifications
Post-hospital discharge wound care for residents returning after surgery. May include dehisced incisions, ostomy complications, or tube site infections requiring specialist management beyond caregiver capabilities.
Coordination: Communication with surgeon, hospital discharge planning, caregiver training
Board-certified wound care specialists provide advanced treatment onsite. Debridement, advanced dressings, biologics, and infection management—all performed at the group home.
We train your caregivers on wound prevention, early detection, basic wound care between specialist visits, and when to call for help. Customized to your staff's skill level.
Comprehensive visit notes with photos meeting state licensing requirements. Copies provided to facility, primary care physicians, and case managers/guardians as needed.
We coordinate with families, conservators, or guardians to explain treatment plans, obtain consent when required, and provide progress updates.
Staff Identifies Wound Concern
Caregiver notices new wound, existing wound not healing, or signs of infection. No medical training required to identify when specialist help needed.
Contact Healix360
Call, fax, or email us with resident name, brief wound description, and best time for visit. We accept referrals from facility staff, families, or PCPs.
We Coordinate Orders & Insurance
We contact the resident's PCP for orders, verify Medicare/insurance coverage, and schedule visit within 24-48 hours. You don't handle paperwork.
Onsite Treatment Visit
Specialist visits group home, treats resident with sensitivity to their needs, provides supplies for dressing changes, and trains staff on care between visits.
Follow-up & Communication
Regular visits until wound heals. Visit notes sent to facility same day. Staff can call anytime with questions. We're your wound care partners.
We bill residents' individual Medicare or insurance directly—zero cost to your facility. No contracts required, no credentialing delays, no facility billing burden. Most residents with Medicare Part B pay little to nothing out-of-pocket (20% coinsurance typically $20-40 per visit, covered by Medigap if they have it). We verify coverage before first visit and communicate any costs to responsible parties (guardian, family, or resident).
Provide your residents with expert wound care without adding to your staff's workload.
