In-Home Wound Care
Dedicated to Your Recovery
Post-surgery recovery is one of the most vulnerable times for families. You're home from the hospital, but the surgical wound still needs expert care. Managing dressing changes at home while juggling work, family, and your own stress can feel overwhelming, and you may be sleeping poorly, constantly checking the wound, or fearing infection.
You've done the hard part, getting through surgery and a hospital stay. Integracare connects you with a wound care nurse who has specialized training. We assess the wound, choose the right dressing, monitor healing through each stage, and adjust the plan as needed.

Understanding Wound Care
Understanding Professional In-Home Wound Care
Instead of travelling to a clinic while healing, your loved one can receive senior-friendly wound care at home. Wound care is the clinical process of helping a wound heal safely, preventing infection, managing pain, and supporting the body's natural recovery. A wound care nurse looks at the wound, the surrounding skin, signs of infection, pain levels, drainage, and healing progress.
If you're concerned about healing, dressing changes, or signs of infection, our nurses can help you recover safely and comfortably at home. They monitor healing, explain what they are doing, and help families understand how to support recovery between visits.
Who We Help
Healing Looks Different for Everyone. We Meet You Exactly Where You Are
Whether you are navigating a sudden hospital discharge, managing complex chronic complications, or watching an aging parent struggle with pain, professional wound care nursing makes a meaningful difference in how well and how quickly healing happens.
Individuals with Disabilities

Clients Seeking Dignified Care
Licensed Practical Nurses offer a compassionate, respectful alternative to rigid clinics, adapting every treatment plan around personal routines and emotional comfort.

Complete Privacy and Dignity
All care takes place in your home, on your terms. Integracare ensures every client feels respected, comfortable, and treated with the dignity they deserve.
The Comfort of Home
Healing Always Happens Best at Home
True peace of mind comes from knowing your parents are recovering exactly where they want to be, because healing always happens best in a place that feels safe and familiar. Your loved one is surrounded by continuous warmth, patience, and respect from clinical experts who treat you like family and keep you fully informed every step of the way.
Many families share that the greatest benefit isn't just the smooth clinical outcome, it's how much lighter the entire home feels once you have an attentive, experienced professional in your corner. From post-operative surgical incisions to specialized skin oversight, we make the recovery journey smooth.
Compare Care Options
In-Home Wound Care vs. Clinic Care
Clinic-based wound care works well for many people. But for seniors, post-surgery clients, or anyone for whom travel is difficult, in-home wound care offers the comfort of your own surroundings, a nurse focused entirely on you, and a care plan that fits your life, while significantly reducing the risk of cross-infection.

Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Wound Care
Clear answers to help families navigate wound care with confidence.
What are wound care stages?
Wound care has four stages: inflammation (red, warm), cleaning (moist, pink), tissue growth (wound smaller), and healing (wound closes). A wound care nurse monitors progress through each stage and adjusts treatment as needed.
How often does wound dressing need to be changed?
Frequency depends on wound type (surgical, diabetic ulcer, pressure sore) and healing stage. Wound dressing for seniors may be changed daily or twice daily. Your wound care nurse recommends the right steps for your situation.
Do seniors need special wound care?
Yes. Senior wound care requires gentler dressings for fragile skin, closer monitoring for infection, and extra support to prevent complications. This is senior-specific wound care for aging adults.
How do I get started with wound care from Integracare?
Take the first step today: call (416) 421-4243 (Toronto) or (905) 916-5454 (Mississauga), email info@integracarehomecare.ca, or complete our free in-home assessment form. Our nursing coordinators will assess your loved one's wound type, healing progress, and home situation, then create a personalized care plan.
How much does wound care cost?
Wound care costs vary by family because every situation is different; surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and pressure sores each require different support. During your free in-home assessment, we'll explain all options and help you choose the right level of wound support without financial stress.
What does a wound care nurse do?
A wound care nurse assesses wound size and depth, checks the surrounding skin, changes dressings using sterile technique, monitors for infection signs, removes clips or sutures, and teaches families the right wound care steps.
Is in-home wound care better than clinic care?
For seniors or post-surgery patients, in-home wound care is often better: more comfortable in familiar surroundings, private with no waiting rooms, convenient with no travel, and lower infection risk than a public clinic.
Can you help with wound care for elderly loved ones?
Yes. We provide wound care for seniors and specialized wound treatment for the elderly. Our specialists are trained in geriatric wound care and wound prevention for the elderly.
Can wound care start this week? How quickly can you respond?
Yes. We understand wound care needs can escalate overnight, whether infection signs, post-surgery urgency, or sudden drainage changes. Our team responds with immediate urgency and can complete your assessment and match you with a registered wound care nurse within the same week.
Do you offer wound care products for seniors?
Yes. Your care plan includes the right wound care products based on wound type and nurse assessment. We use senior-friendly dressings that don't stick to fragile skin and support healing.
How do I book wound care near me?
Contact Integracare to request a free in-home assessment. A wound care nurse will visit your Toronto or Mississauga home to assess the wound and determine if our wound care services are the right fit.
