A Family Caregiver’s Guide to Wound Care in Texas

If you’re a loved one helping care for someone with a chronic or complex wound, you’re not alone. In Texas, tens of thousands of families are navigating wound care without proper support.

What Texas caregivers need to know:

Skin breakdown can happen fast, especially in our hot climate, where moisture and friction cause wounds to worsen quickly.
Delays in wound care are costly. In Texas, delayed care is one of the top contributors to avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations among adults over 65.

You don’t need to transport the patient to get care. We come to homes, assisted living, rehab and group homes throughout Texas.

Facility-Focused Wound Care in Texas

Many of Texas’s healthcare facilities face wound care challenges due to staffing shortages, complex regulations and high patient volumes. ALMS partners directly with:

Assisted Living Facilities: Regular wound rounds, prevention programs and resident comfort-focused care.
Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs): Compliance-ready documentation, advanced wound therapies and consistent monitoring.
Rehabilitation Centers: Coordinated wound management to support therapy goals and faster recovery.
Home Health Agencies: Expert wound support that integrates smoothly with agency care plans.
Group Homes & LTACs: Preventive wound programs and advanced treatment for medically fragile residents.
Palliative Care Programs: Gentle wound care that prioritizes pain management and dignity.
Hospitals & Clinics: Transitional Care Management (TCM) ensuring safe post-discharge wound follow-up.
CHF Clinics & Cardiology Centers: Safe compression and wound care designed for circulation-impaired patients.

With ALMS Mobile Wound Care, facilities across Texas strengthen compliance, reduce readmissions and improve patient satisfaction without increasing staff workload.

According to Texas Health and Human Services, wound-related complications are a leading cause of preventable hospitalizations in elderly and disabled populations.

How Mobile Wound Care Prevents Hospital Readmissions in Texas

In fact:

Over 250,000 preventable hospital stays are reported in Texas annually among Medicare patients.
Chronic wounds (including pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers and infected surgical sites) are among the top 5 causes.
The average cost of one wound-related hospitalization in Texas is $15,000–$35,000.

Our mobile wound care model prevents this by:

Seeing patients on-site, weekly with urgent visits available
Adapting care plans to each facility or home environment
Using evidence-based dressings and wound products
Catching complications early, before hospitalization is needed

We coordinate with physicians, home health and facilities to ensure seamless continuity of care. No ER visits. No hospital readmissions. Just healing.

The Hidden Wound Care Crisis in Texas

Wound care is an under-reported but major public health issue in Texas. It’s not just about bedsores or diabetic wounds, it’s about access, education and early action.

Did you know?

Over 1.2 million Texans are living with a chronic wound.
Many rural counties lack access to wound care specialists.
Underserved urban areas have long wait times for in-clinic treatment.
14% of wound patients in Texas delay care due to transportation or mobility barriers.

This creates a “hidden crisis” in communities, from small towns to urban neighborhoods. ALMS is bridging that gap by bringing high-level wound care to those who need it most.
