Wound and Ostomy Care at Sannoh's Home Health Care

Wound and ostomy care services are essential for individuals with a wide range of conditions and medical needs. These services are particularly beneficial for patients who are recovering from surgery, have chronic conditions, or experience complications that require ongoing attention and care. 

Wound Care Patients:

• Surgical Patients: Individuals recovering from surgeries such as joint replacements, abdominal surgeries, or cancer treatments may experience surgical wounds that require specialized care to prevent infections and promote healing.
• Chronic Conditions: Patients with conditions like diabetes, vascular diseases, or pressure ulcers are at a higher risk for developing chronic wounds that do not heal easily and require ongoing management.
• Trauma Victims: Patients who have suffered from accidents, burns, or other forms of trauma may need wound care to manage and heal open injuries effectively.
• Elderly Individuals: Older adults often have thin skin, slower healing processes, and an increased risk for pressure ulcers or other wounds, making wound care essential in promoting their comfort and recovery.

Ostomy Care Patients:

• Colorectal Surgery Patients: Individuals who have undergone surgery for colorectal cancer, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis may require an ostomy. This type of care is vital to help them adjust to life with a stoma and prevent complications.
• Bladder Cancer Patients: Those who undergo a cystectomy (removal of the bladder) often require a urostomy for urine drainage, requiring ongoing ostomy care.
• Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with conditions that necessitate ostomy procedures, requiring long-term care and adjustment.

Managing wounds and ostomies at home can significantly reduce the need for frequent hospital visits or re-admissions.
