Facility-Based Care

Facility-Based Wound Care — SNFs, ALFs, and Hospitals

Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and hospitals routinely care for residents and patients with complex wounds — but maintaining a dedicated wound care team in-house is expensive, hard to staff, and rarely cost-effective for a single facility. Arizona Wound Care Group provides that expertise on-site. Our clinicians round at your facility on a scheduled cadence, manage complex wounds bedside, and document each visit so your records support clinical handoffs and survey readiness. All care follows protocols set and overseen by our wound care medical director.

On-site wound services we deliver

Scheduled wound rounds

Our clinicians visit on a regular cadence — weekly, biweekly, or another schedule that fits census and acuity — to assess wounds, perform debridement and dressing changes, and update care plans.

Bedside wound care for inpatients

For hospital partners, our team provides bedside wound care for inpatients, including complex wounds that benefit from a dedicated wound specialist.

Inpatient consults

When a wound is unusual, deteriorating, or requires specialty input, we provide consults that include assessment, recommendations, and documentation.

Care plan development and updates

We develop and update wound-specific care plans aligned with the facility's broader plan of care, including offloading, dressings, debridement schedule, and escalation triggers.

Documentation for survey readiness and clinical handoffs

Wound documentation is one of the most-cited survey areas in long-term care. Every visit produces structured documentation appropriate to the setting, supporting MDS coordination and survey readiness without adding burden to facility staff.

Who we work with

Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)

On-site wound rounds, complex wound management, support for MDS-coordinated care plans, escalation pathway through our medical director.

Assisted living facilities (ALFs)

On-site wound assessments and treatments for residents whose care needs exceed routine.

Hospitals

Bedside wound care for inpatients, inpatient wound consults, and outpatient discharge bridging to either our Mesa clinic or our home-based team.

How a facility engagement works

A facility engagement typically follows four steps:

Step 1 · Scope

We meet with your clinical leadership to understand census, common wound types, current documentation flow, and the practical constraints of your facility. We scope the engagement to fit — scheduled rounds, on-call consults, or both.
Step 2 · Scheduling

Visits are scheduled on a cadence that fits your patient mix. Our clinicians integrate with your existing clinical workflow rather than working around it.
Step 3 · Handoff

Each visit produces structured documentation that your team can use. Findings, treatments, plan updates, and escalation needs are communicated to the facility team and (for hospital partners) the primary inpatient team.
Step 4 · Ongoing

We adjust the cadence and scope as census and acuity change. Complex cases escalate to our medical director.

Clinical oversight & escalation

Every clinician on our team works under protocols set by our wound care medical director. Complex cases — non-responding wounds, suspected osteomyelitis, deteriorating vascular status, surgical decisions — escalate through a clear pathway that includes the medical director and the patient's other providers.

Frequently asked questions

How are facility partnerships structured?

Most engagements are either a contract with scheduled rounds at an agreed cadence, or a per-visit/on-call consult arrangement, or a combination. We scope to fit the facility — there’s no one-size template.

How does AWCG's documentation work with our EHR / MDS?

Our clinicians produce structured documentation per visit that your team can incorporate into the resident record. Today this is a documentation handoff workflow; deeper EHR integration can be discussed during contracting.

Who bills the visit — AWCG or the facility?

Most patient visits are billed by AWCG directly to the patient’s insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial). Facility-level services (e.g., on-call consult retainers) are typically billed on a contract or per-visit basis to the facility. We scope billing structure during the partnership conversation.

Can you cover inpatient consults at our hospital?

Yes — we provide inpatient wound consults for hospital partners. Scope and coverage hours are defined during the partnership conversation.

What credentialing do your clinicians have?

Our team includes nurses and advanced-practice providers with wound care experience, working under protocols set by our wound care medical director. Specific clinician credentials and certifications are shared during the contracting and onboarding process.
