At-Home Wound Care in Queens
Mobile wound care for all stages of bed sores, bringing skilled and compassionate treatment directly to your Queens residence.
At-Home Wound Care for Bed Sores
Bed sores, or pressure ulcers, result from continuous pressure that restricts blood flow and damages skin and tissue. They are a frequent concern for patients in Queens who have mobility limitations, whether from chronic illness, surgery recovery, or prolonged bed rest.
NYC Wound provides direct, in-home treatment for bed sores of all stages, ensuring patients in Queens receive specialized attention where they feel safest and most comfortable. Our Wound Care Specialists use advanced care strategies that speed up healing, lower the risk of infection, and reduce the chance of sores developing again. For families supporting a loved one, our services bring peace of mind by offering professional treatment right at home.
What are Common Causes of Bed Sores?
Bed sores can be triggered by several factors such as:
- Limited ability to move that results from medical conditions, post-surgical recovery, or injuries
- Long durations of bedrest or sitting in a wheelchair without frequent repositioning
- Deficiencies in nutrition or fluid intake that compromise the body’s natural healing ability
- Moisture from incontinence that increases skin breakdown and vulnerability
- Friction or shearing forces caused by incorrect movement techniques or lack of supportive equipment

What To Expect During Your Wound Care Appointments
Our Wound Care Specialists are available to visit patients directly in their homes or at care facilities, providing skilled treatment where it is most practical and comfortable. After you make contact, our Care Coordinator confirms your appointment and selects a clinician who is well-versed in managing advanced wounds, particularly pressure ulcers and bed sores.
The visit begins with a careful wound assessment, followed by the creation of a customized plan of care, and immediate initiation of treatment. Care may include wound cleansing, the proper application of dressings, or advanced techniques such as debridement and strategies to relieve excess pressure. We strive to make the shift from hospital care or assisted living arrangements into home-based care as easy and reassuring as possible, maintaining the same standard of expert attention throughout the recovery journey.
Additional Wounds We Treat
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Caused by complications of diabetes such as nerve damage and restricted circulation, these ulcers are slow-healing and can lead to serious health problems. Our mobile wound care program brings expert treatment directly to patients at home, helping to reduce infection risks, support healing, and prevent unnecessary hospitalization or amputation.
Venous Leg Ulcers
Often described as stubborn wounds, venous leg ulcers result from damaged veins that cannot circulate blood effectively. Our clinicians use consistent compression therapy combined with advanced wound care methods to treat these ulcers, providing the attention and care patients need without requiring travel to a facility.

Yes. We accept Medicare as well as other insurance options. Because coverage specifics vary, we always recommend that patients or their caregivers confirm details with their insurance provider to understand exactly what services will be included.
What types of wounds do you care for besides bed sores?
Beyond treating bed sores, we also specialize in the care of diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. Each wound requires its own approach, so we create an individualized treatment plan that focuses on healing and continuous patient support.
How do your Wound Care Specialists support healthcare providers after discharge?
In Queens, we work closely with hospitals, skilled nursing centers, and discharge planners to ensure that patients continue to receive the care they need without interruption. Our wound care specialists deliver advanced treatment right at home, so individuals can focus on recovery in a familiar setting. This dedicated support helps wounds heal more effectively and reduces the possibility of hospital readmission, giving Queens patients greater peace of mind.
What are bed sores?
Bed sores, also known as pressure injuries, develop when constant pressure disrupts normal blood flow to the skin. They occur most often in people who cannot move freely, such as individuals confined to bed for recovery. Our specialists provide in-home wound care services to manage these sores at an early stage.
How do you treat bed sores at home?
We use advanced therapies that include debridement to remove damaged tissue, negative pressure wound therapy to stimulate healing, and protective dressings that maintain a healthy wound environment. Care is tailored to the wound’s stage and the patient’s overall health.
What are common risk factors for developing bed sores?
People who remain in one position for long periods, those with poor diet or hydration, elderly patients, and individuals with incontinence or chronic illnesses are most at risk of developing bed sores.
What is a risk assessment for bed sores?
A risk assessment is a tool we use to identify how likely a patient is to develop pressure injuries. By evaluating circulation, mobility, and other health factors, we can design preventive measures specific to the individual.
How do you recognize a bed sore at home?
Early symptoms often include persistent redness, tenderness, or a warm patch of skin. As the sore progresses, it may break open and become more painful. Early identification allows us to intervene before the condition worsens.
Where do bed sores usually form?
The most common locations include heels, hips, lower back, and elbows. These areas are more likely to break down because of their bony structure and constant exposure to pressure.
Can you help prevent new bed sores?
Yes. We work closely with patients and caregivers to teach prevention methods such as repositioning, choosing appropriate support surfaces, and maintaining skin health through nutrition and hydration.
How do you manage a suspected deep tissue injury?
If tissue damage under the skin is suspected, we take immediate steps to reduce pressure, improve circulation, and protect the area. This helps keep the damage from progressing into a visible wound.
What types of wound dressings do you use for bed sores?
Different dressings are used depending on the wound. Some absorb fluid, others act as a barrier against infection, and some help remove non-healing tissue. The dressing is always selected based on what the wound requires.
How can I relieve pressure to help a wound heal?
By turning or repositioning frequently, using pressure-relieving devices, and sticking to the care plan, patients can reduce pressure on vulnerable areas and support the healing process.
