Venous Leg Ulcer Care at Home
Venous Ulcer Care That Addresses the Root Cause
Venous leg ulcers are among the most common chronic wounds of the lower legs. They form when the veins struggle to return blood to the heart — a condition called venous insufficiency — leaving fluid and pressure built up in the tissue near the ankle. Because the underlying circulation problem persists, these wounds tend to heal slowly and recur without consistent, specialized care.
Our licensed clinicians bring that care to your home, pairing advanced wound dressings with compression therapy and edema control to address both the wound and the circulation issues behind it. Every plan is coordinated with your physician so your venous ulcer care fits within your overall vascular and medical care.
Venous Leg Ulcer FAQs
What causes venous leg ulcers?
Venous leg ulcers develop when the veins in the lower legs don't return blood to the heart efficiently, a condition called venous insufficiency. The resulting pressure and swelling damage the skin and slow healing, most often near the ankle.
Why is compression important for venous ulcers?
Compression therapy helps counter the elevated pressure and swelling caused by venous insufficiency, supporting circulation in the lower legs. It is a core part of venous ulcer care, applied and monitored by our clinicians alongside advanced dressings.
Does Medicare cover in-home venous ulcer care?
We accept Medicare and most insurance plans. Coverage depends on your plan and clinical need, and we review it with you before care begins.
