Wound Care in Burbank CA | Journey Palliative and Hospice

Wound care in hospice calls for a specialized skill set. Sometimes patients’ wounds can heal completely; other times, they cannot, and the goal is to prevent the wound from infecting or getting worse.

Additionally, patients in hospice care near me may have little to no mobility. This can put them at risk for pressure wounds. It can also create challenges in care that would not exist with a patient who is fully functional and mobile.

Wound care is among our specialities at Journey Palliative and Hospice. Our team members have become experts in preventing and treating wounds in terminal patients and working around the challenges imposed by low mobility.

Types of Wound Care We Provide

Our hospice team can provide care for many different types of wounds, including but not limited to:

Skin tears
Pressure wounds
Venous ulcers
Deep tissue injuries
Malignant wounds

How We Treat Wounds in Hospice

We treat wounds in hospice patients by:

Cleaning and drying wounds and surrounding skin to prevent infection and facilitate healing.
Applying moisturizing treatments and repositioning as needed to prevent pressure wounds or keep a patient with existing wounds comfortable.
Setting up pillows and supports to alleviate pressure, improve alignment and decrease friction.
As with everything else we do, our wound care is customized to the patient and their individual needs in that moment. While we build routines as part of wound care (like repositioning at set times), we can adapt as the patient’s needs change.

I can't began to share with you of how thankful I am to Journey Hospice in dealing with my love one. Ovsanna was so professional and through in explaining to me what their services were and how they implement them. When we moved Frank to the new location Ovsanna was right there and took me aside and informed me that he was actually Transitioning now. She explained very gently and compassionately that it may be hours or a few days. He passed within a few hours. Emmanuel the RN came to stay with Frank overnight if needed and actually pronounced his passing was so kind and compassionate. The gentleness that they both gave Frank was so noted by all of us present. Also the priest (can't recall his name) was there at his bedside in time to give him the last rites. I can't praise Journey Hospice and their staff enough. I will recommend them to anyone who ask me about Hospice. Again Thank You and God Bless you for all the work you do. Irma Rocha

We had a wonderful experience with Journey Palliative and Hospice, after having a not so wonderful experience with another hospice. This company was so responsive and understanding. Our nurse, Ovsanna, was so caring and explained the whole dying process and what to expect as time went by. She was so patient with mom, and with all of us as we had questions. She was available whenever we needed her. The company took care of ordering all supplies and medications. It made the transition so much easier for all of us. I highly recommend this company.

There are no words for how wonderful Journey Palliative and Hospice was for my mom and our family. Our Hospice nurse, Ovsanna, was incredibly kind and caring and careful with mom, who was 100. With patience and care, she shared with us the process of passing and was so giving of her time as mom moved through these stages. Ovsanna was available for us 24/7 and would come anytime mom/we needed. She was aware of the comfort my mom would need and was there for her. Her kindness and understanding brought comfort to us as well. We felt completely supported, even after mom's passing. I would recommend this company with wholehearted sincerity for the best care your loved one could receive.
