Wound Care for the Elderly at Home in NYC
A wound that won’t heal is more than uncomfortable, for an older adult, it can quickly turn serious. All Heart Homecare provides skilled in-home wound care for the elderly across all five boroughs of New York City, delivered by licensed nurses who treat the wound, watch for infection, and help your loved one heal safely in the comfort of home.
For more than 14 years, NYC families have trusted our nurses to care for their loved ones with skill and compassion.
How We Provide In-Home Wound Care
Wound care is skilled medical care, so at All Heart it’s always delivered by a licensed nurse (LPN or RN), never an unlicensed aide. Our nurses follow a careful, coordinated process:
- Nurse assessment. A licensed nurse evaluates the wound, its underlying cause, and your loved one’s overall health.
- Personalized care plan. We create a treatment plan and coordinate it with your loved one’s physician.
- Ongoing treatment. Our nurse provides regular cleaning, dressing changes, and treatment on a schedule suited to the wound.
- Monitoring & communication. We track healing, watch for infection, and keep you and the doctor informed at every step.

Cost of Wound Care in NYC
Families often ask what in-home wound care will cost, and the honest answer is that it depends on the wound, the treatment schedule, and how care is arranged. Because wound care is skilled nursing, it’s handled a little differently from everyday personal care.
Depending on your loved one’s situation, skilled in-home wound care may be covered or arranged through:
- Medicaid and managed long-term care plans
- Private-duty nursing arrangements
- Veterans’ benefits
- Workers’ compensation
- Private pay, for full flexibility
Because every situation is different, the clearest way to understand your options is a free consultation. We’ll review your loved one’s needs, explain which programs they may qualify for, and walk you through everything, with no cost and no pressure.

What Families Say About All Heart Homecare
Frequently Asked Questions: Elderly Wound Care
Who provides wound care at home: a nurse or an aide?
Wound care is a skilled medical task, so it’s always performed by one of our licensed nurses (LPN or RN). Home health aides can support daily comfort and hygiene, but they don’t treat wounds.
What types of wounds can you treat at home?
Our nurses treat pressure ulcers (bedsores), diabetic foot ulcers, surgical and post-operative wounds, skin tears, and venous leg ulcers, among others. After an assessment we’ll confirm the right plan for your loved one.
How do I know if a wound is infected?
Warning signs include increasing redness, swelling, warmth, pus or unusual drainage, a bad odor, or fever. If you notice any of these, it’s important to have a nurse or doctor evaluate the wound promptly.
Does Medicaid cover home wound care in New York?
Skilled in-home nursing, including wound care, may be covered through Medicaid for those who qualify, or arranged through private-duty nursing or private pay. We help families navigate the options during a free consultation.
How quickly can wound care start?
It begins with a consultation and a nurse assessment. Once the care plan is set and coverage is confirmed, treatment can usually begin quickly so the wound gets the attention it needs.
Can wound care be combined with other home care?
Yes. Many families pair skilled wound care with personal care support, such as bathing, mobility, or companionship, so your loved one’s medical and daily needs are covered by one trusted team.
