Living Well with Mobility Limitations
Mobility Limitations can be a risk factor for several conditions and lead to increased isolation and loneliness. A carer helps to make your home more accessible.
Caring for a wound at home can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Especially if it is a chronic wound, such as a venous ulcer, diabetic ulcer or pressure ulcer, that shows no progress towards healing.
Appropriate wound management facilitates the healing process and reduces the chance of infection. As we age, our bodies’ capacity to heal the skin reduces and wound healing can take many months, so wounds require consistent care and patience to ensure they have the best opportunity to get better.
Having a nurse provide care at home provides the best chance for chronic and surgical wounds to heal without complications.
At home wound care includes the application and changing of dressings. This creates a moist environment, which is best to promote healing and acts as a barrier to keep the wound clean and healthy. It may also include advice and assistance to keep pressure off the wound and turning to ensure new wounds don’t occur.
Other things that can assist the body to heal include:
