Living with a complex or non-healing wound can be challenging, impacting your mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. Frequent trips to an outpatient clinic for wound care can be an added burden, especially for those with mobility issues. At Professional Home Care Services, Inc., we believe that the best healing happens in the comfort and safety of your own home. As Milwaukee’s trusted local home health agency, we bring expert wound care services directly to you.
What is In-Home Wound Care?
In-home wound care is a specialized medical service for patients in the Milwaukee area who are homebound and require treatment for complex, chronic, or post-surgical wounds. This service is provided by skilled nurses and therapists right where you live, whether it’s a house, an apartment, or a senior living community.
Our goal is to promote faster healing, prevent infections, and empower you and your family with the knowledge to manage your condition, all while reducing the need for hospital readmissions.
