Living with a chronic or complex wound can be overwhelming. Our nurses at Umbrella Home Care in Calgary provide skilled, compassionate wound care in your home. Whether your loved one is recovering from surgery, managing ulcers, or pressure injuries, we are here to help.
Wounds can take time to heal—and they need the right environment to do so. Without proper attention, minor injuries can quickly turn into serious complications. Our wound care nurses are trained to assess, clean, dress, and monitor a wide range of wounds to support healing and prevent infection. We take the time to listen, clearly explain your care plan, and adjust treatment based on your family’s needs.
From short-term recovery to long-term wound management, our wound care services in Calgary are here for your family every step of the way.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Open sores on the feet are a common complication caused by poor circulation or nerve damage in people with diabetes. These wounds require careful monitoring to prevent infection and promote proper healing.
Pressure Ulcers (Bedsores)
Injuries caused by prolonged pressure on the skin often affecting those with limited mobility. Regular repositioning and wound care are essential to prevent complications and encourage healing.
Venous and Arterial Ulcers
Chronic wounds resulting from poor blood flow in the legs. Venous ulcers are usually shallow and moist, while arterial ulcers are often painful and deep. Both need expert treatment.
Surgical Wounds
Incisions or openings from medical procedures that need proper cleaning, dressing, and monitoring. Prompt wound care reduces the risk of infection and supports faster, complication-free recovery.
Infected Wounds
Wounds that show signs of infection—such as redness, swelling, pain, or discharge—require immediate attention. Our nurses use sterile techniques to reduce bacteria and encourage the body’s healing process.
Burns and Abrasions
Burns and surface-level wounds like scrapes can become serious if not treated properly. We manage pain, prevent infection, and help your skin regenerate with proper dressings and care.
Traumatic Injuries (Cuts, Lacerations)
Sudden injuries like deep cuts or skin tears can lead to bleeding and infection. Our nurses clean, dress, and monitor these wounds to promote safe healing at home.
As caregivers, our goal is to help improve your loved ones’ quality of life and maintain their independence at home as much as possible. No two clients are alike, and whether you need minimal assistance or your needs are more complicated, we can customize an in-home care plan to meet your expectations.
