Bed Sore Treatment:
At-Home Wound Care in Brooklyn
Providing mobile wound care for all stages of bed sores, ensuring Brooklyn patients receive professional care in the comfort of their own home.
At-Home Wound Care for Bed Sores
In Brooklyn, patients with limited mobility or chronic conditions often face the challenge of developing bed sores, also called pressure injuries. These wounds form when constant pressure reduces circulation to the skin and deeper tissue, causing breakdown that can progress quickly without treatment.
At NYC Wound, we focus on treating bed sores at every stage, right in the comfort of a Brooklyn home or care setting. Our Wound Care Specialists provide advanced, personalized care that supports quicker healing, reduces infection risks, and protects against future complications. Families caring for loved ones in Brooklyn can rely on us to deliver consistent, professional treatment without the stress of traveling to a hospital or clinic.
What are Common Causes of Bed Sores?
The most common causes of bed sores include:
- Being unable to move freely due to illness, recovery from surgery, or physical injury
- Remaining in bed or confined to a wheelchair for extended hours or days
- Not receiving the proper balance of nutrients or hydration for skin health
- Exposure to moisture from incontinence, which irritates and weakens the skin
- Pressure, friction, or shear that happens during movement or when support surfaces are inadequate
Our experienced Wound Care Specialists are ready to assist you with effective wound management
What To Expect During Your Wound Care Appointments
Our team of Wound Care Specialists brings professional treatment directly to the home or long-term care facility, making expert support available in the most convenient setting. After reaching out to us, our Care Coordinator schedules the appointment and pairs you with a clinician who is highly experienced in advanced wound management, including the treatment of bed sores.
Once on-site, the clinician completes a full evaluation of the wound, outlines a tailored treatment plan, and begins care right away. Services may include wound cleansing, the application of appropriate dressings, and interventions such as debridement or methods to relieve ongoing pressure. We also focus on making the transition from hospital or assisted living care back to the home environment as simple and seamless as possible, ensuring consistency in high-quality treatment.
Additional Wounds We Treat
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Common among people living with diabetes, these wounds are linked to limited blood flow and nerve problems. Our wound care specialists bring treatment directly into the home, helping to control infection, encourage healing, and safeguard patients from preventable hospital admissions or the possibility of losing a limb.
Venous Leg Ulcers
These ulcers form when poor circulation in the veins causes wounds on the legs that are difficult and painful to heal. With professional support, we deliver compression therapy and continuous wound management in the home setting, giving patients comfort and reliable care while promoting stronger recovery outcomes.

What are bed sores?
Bed sores are pressure-related wounds that develop when circulation is reduced due to constant pressure on the same area. They are frequently seen in individuals who cannot move independently, such as patients recovering after surgery or those with spinal cord injuries. Our team provides in-home wound care evaluations and treatment to prevent them from advancing.
How do you treat bed sores at home?
Our wound care specialists treat bed sores with a variety of evidence-based methods. Depending on the stage, treatment may include wound cleaning, removal of damaged tissue, application of negative pressure wound therapy, and the use of specially designed dressings.
What are common risk factors for developing bed sores?
Bed sores are more likely to form in patients with limited mobility, elderly individuals, people with nutritional deficiencies, or those living with chronic illnesses. Incontinence also increases the likelihood by exposing skin to moisture that weakens tissue.
What is a risk assessment for bed sores?
This is a proactive evaluation that helps determine whether a patient is at risk of developing pressure sores. We review mobility, circulation, nutrition, and skin health to create a plan that prevents wounds before they start.
How do you recognize a bed sore at home?
Signs can include redness or tenderness that does not go away after relieving pressure. As the condition advances, the sore may become deeper and more painful. Spotting these changes quickly is essential for preventing serious complications.
Where do bed sores usually form?
They often appear in areas where skin is stretched over bony points, such as the heels, hips, sacrum, and elbows. These spots are under constant pressure and are the most common places for skin breakdown.
Can you help prevent new bed sores?
Yes. Prevention is central to our approach. We show patients and caregivers how to reposition correctly, recommend supportive bedding or cushions, and emphasize the role of proper diet and hydration in skin health.
How do you manage a suspected deep tissue injury?
When we suspect damage under the skin, even if the surface looks normal, our team intervenes quickly. We reduce pressure, improve circulation, and start protective treatments to stop the injury from breaking through the skin.
What types of wound dressings do you use for bed sores?
Dressings are carefully chosen according to the wound’s size and condition. Some may draw out fluid, others protect against bacteria, and some encourage tissue regeneration. Every choice is guided by a personalized care plan.
How can I relieve pressure to help a wound heal?
Relief comes from adjusting positions regularly, using pressure-relief cushions or mattresses, and carefully following a treatment plan. These steps prevent ongoing damage and create the conditions for healing.
