Wound Care
Wounds can be devastating. They can really disrupt a patient’s entire rehab or recovery and lead to further complications. At Buena Vida, we do more than most skilled nursing centers in the region to control this terrible problem. Upon arrival, patients receive a comprehensive assessment to look for any indication of a skin breakdown. Patients’ nutritional needs are examined to determine if any supplementation is needed to heal or prevent a wound from occurring. If a wound develops, the Buena Vida team has the expertise to address the problem and quickly begin the healing process.
