How to Get Wound Care at Home in NYC.

Families are often surprised that serious wound care happens at home at all, let alone in a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens or a co-op on the Upper West Side. It does, every day. Clinicians bring the supplies, the documentation happens electronically, and the visit fits around building access and caregiver schedules.

Home wound care fits people for whom travel is the obstacle: anyone using a walker, wheelchair, or oxygen, anyone recently discharged, anyone in assisted living or skilled nursing whose wound needs more attention than the building's routine allows, and anyone whose wound keeps not healing partly because getting to appointments keeps not happening.

One contact. Call 877-48-WOUND or email care@nycwoundbridge.org with three things: what you're seeing, where the person is, and how to reach you. You do not need a referral to ask, and you do not need medical vocabulary. If a physician's order is required for care, we coordinate it. From there, a clinician comes to the person, assesses the wound, and leaves the household with a plan it can actually follow. Read more about what a wound visit includes, or the conditions we treat.
