Wound
Care

Sunset Ridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center’s specialized wound care program is led by a certified wound care nurse who conducts weekly rounds, ensuring that each patient receives focused, expert attention. Our highly experienced nursing staff is dedicated to providing advanced wound care treatments, including cutting-edge therapies like e-stim, diathermy, wound VAC therapy, and dynamic pressure relief mattresses designed to promote faster healing and greater comfort.

Our team follows the latest best practices in wound management, staying current with the most advanced wound care techniques to effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Diabetic Ulcers
• Arterial/Venous Ulcers
• Pressure Ulcers
• Surgical Wounds
• Postoperative Edema & Pain

At Sunset Ridge Rehabilitation & Nursing Center, we have implemented rigorous wound care protocols aimed at stimulating tissue growth and expediting the healing process for existing wounds, while also preventing the development of new wounds and pressure sores. By combining our expertise with the latest medical technologies, we create individualized care plans that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs, promoting optimal recovery.

Our nurses ensure that wound dressings are changed frequently to maintain a clean, bacteria-free wound bed, which is critical for successful healing. Additionally, they assist patients in repositioning to relieve pressure and avoid further complications. We offer various surface support options, such as low-pressure air loss mattresses and specialized wheelchair cushions, to enhance patient comfort and prevent the formation of new pressure ulcers.

Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in wound healing. Our dietitians collaborate closely with our nursing team and physicians to ensure each resident receives a diet tailored to their needs. Whether ensuring optimal protein intake for tissue repair or managing blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, our dietitians are committed to providing nutritional support contributing to wound healing and overall well-being.

At Sunset Ridge, we are deeply committed to delivering the highest standard of wound care. Our focus on compassionate, personalized treatment is a testament to our dedication to addressing both the medical and emotional needs of our patients, making them feel valued and cared for.
