If you’ve ever dealt with a chronic or complex wound, you know how exhausting the process can be—multiple appointments, long waits, travel challenges, and unclear instructions between visits. That’s why more patients across Oklahoma and Arkansas are turning to home wound care as a smarter, safer, and more convenient alternative.

At Advanced Wound Therapy, we believe healing starts with accessibility. By bringing expert wound care directly to your home, we remove the common barriers that keep wounds from improving—while offering a higher level of personalized, hands-on support.

If you’re wondering whether home wound care is the right solution for you or a loved one, here’s what makes it a smarter approach and how we deliver it.

Why Choose Home Wound Care?

Chronic wounds don’t just affect your skin—they affect your daily life. Getting to and from the clinic or hospital for multiple appointments each week is difficult for patients who are non-ambulatory, immunocompromised, or managing other conditions. And for those in rural or underserved areas, access to quality wound care may be limited altogether.

With home wound care, those obstacles disappear. Here’s how it makes a difference:

• No travel required – You receive expert care without ever leaving your home
• Fewer missed visits – Eliminates weather delays, transportation problems, and physical strain
• Faster response time – Wounds can be assessed and treated sooner, reducing complications
• Personalized environment – We see how you live and adjust care accordingly

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a diabetic ulcer, or struggling with a wound that just won’t improve, home-based care can provide the consistency and attention required to make progress.

What Does Home Wound Care Include?

At Advanced Wound Therapy, home wound care is not just a delivery of supplies or a quick check-in. It’s comprehensive, skilled medical care—brought to your door by experienced professionals who specialize in wound management.

Here’s what a typical home visit may include:

• Full wound assessment – We evaluate the type, depth, and condition of your wound as well as your surrounding skin
• Medical history review – We consider diabetes, vascular disease, past surgeries, or other factors that could affect healing
• Lifestyle & environmental evaluation – We assess your mobility, support systems, and home environment for factors that may slow recovery
• Customized dressing application – Only the right dressings are used based on drainage, moisture balance, and wound stage
• Advanced tools when needed – Including amniotic grafts for select wounds, and debridement when clinically appropriate
• Ongoing education – We teach you and your caregivers how to support healing between visits

We don’t rely on guesswork. We tailor every aspect of care to you and your specific needs, adjusting as the wound progresses.

Who Can Benefit From Home Wound Care?

Home-based wound care is ideal for patients who:

• Have difficulty getting to medical appointments
• Live in rural or medically underserved areas
• Are non-ambulatory or have limited mobility
• Are recovering from surgery with a slow-healing sit
• Have chronic conditions like diabetes or lymphedema
• Are experiencing a wound that’s been open longer than expected
• Are seeing signs of infection or worsening tissue health

We frequently work with patients who were previously told they’d need to travel for wound care—but now receive better results with fewer disruptions by being treated at home.

How We Support Better Outcomes

A major reason wounds stall or worsen is lack of consistency. Missed appointments, improperly applied dressings, and delayed care often lead to bigger problems like infection or tissue breakdown. Home wound care addresses these risks by making expert-level treatment more accessible and more consistent.

Our team focuses on:

• Continuity of care – The same team sees you regularly, which allows us to catch problems early
• Real-time adjustments – If something isn’t working, we change the plan fast—no waiting for a referral
• Advanced therapies – We use tools like amniotic grafts, debridement techniques, and antimicrobial dressings when appropriate
• Holistic support – We look at the full picture, not just the wound, including your lifestyle, nutrition, circulation, and more

Our care isn’t limited to a set list of procedures—it’s built around what will give you the best chance at progress.

Why AWT Is Different

Advanced Wound Therapy is not a typical home health provider. We focus solely on home wound care, and that specialization shows in the outcomes we help patients achieve. We bring:

• Years of experience in advanced wound care
• A patient-first philosophy that focuses on dignity and comfort
• Rapid response times and real-time care planning
• Access to tools and expertise often unavailable outside of hospitals

Most importantly, we restore something many patients lose during wound care: hope. Our model is designed not just to treat the wound, but to improve your quality of life in the process.
