What Is the MedCentris Long-Term Care/Skilled Nursing Facility Program?

Elderly individuals and those with chronic health conditions may be prone to developing wounds that can’t heal on their own. If your skilled nursing or long-term care facility is struggling to provide the wound care management your residents deserve, MedCentris™ can help.

Our long-term care/skilled nursing facility program provides your residents with focused, advanced Wound Medicine treatments each week while helping your staff better care for wounds between our visits. Explore the benefits of this program below.

Our Wound Management Program for Long-Term Care and Skilled Nursing Facilities

Your skilled nursing facility may not have the necessary resources, training, or experience to effectively manage chronic care for complex wounds. However, your residents are at an increased risk of these wounds because of their co-morbidities.

Our long-term care/skilled nursing facility program provides chronic wound management for your residents while promoting a better quality of life and streamlined healing. With MedCentris on your side, your facility can be certain that your wounds are being managed by professionals.

Weekly Rounding for All Wound Types

We conduct weekly rounding for patients with any type of wound. Each week, our wound specialists will visit your specialized nursing care facility and spend time with each patient with a wound. We will assess the wound’s progress, perform wound care treatments, and adjust the patient’s treatment plan for the week ahead.

With our team focused on wound care, your staff and medical providers can dedicate their time to other skilled nursing services without sacrificing the quality of patient care.

Foot Focus Nail Care Services

As you likely know, nail care in skilled nursing facilities requires specialized techniques and caution. Clipping a nail too short leaves a patient vulnerable to a wound. The residents in your facility may be more likely to develop wounds due to medical conditions that impede the natural healing process.

You can leave nail care to our trained and skilled wound specialists. Our “Foot Focus” services assist in preventing wounds during toenail care. Foot wounds are particularly dangerous for those with diabetes because neuropathy blocks pain signals in the feet, leading residents to overlook wounds that can become infected, leading to even more serious complications.

In-House Training and Education for SNF Staff

With the right training and instruction, your skilled nursing staff can manage several aspects of wound care on their own. We provide in-house training and education as part of our long-term care/skilled nursing facility program.

We’ll come to your nursing facility, meet with your staff, and deliver in-depth instruction on proper wound care techniques. We will then supervise their performance and provide feedback as needed.

Hassle-Free Documentation and Billing

Our wound care program doesn’t need to complicate your billing process. For billing purposes, we provide detailed documentation of all wounds present upon admission.

At MedCentris, we bill Medicare Part B services and charge no management fees to the facility. We accept all payors and can even help reduce F-Tags under Medicare and Medicaid through our wound management services.

Better Quality of Life for Residents

We use advanced Wound Medicine treatments and technologies to promote faster and more reliable wound healing than traditional methods in pursuit of a better quality of life for your residents.

Our wound specialists treat all patients with proper dignity and respect. We personalize our treatment plans to each patient’s needs, symptoms, and overall health, improving their chances of recovery.

Enhance Your Facility’s Wound Management With Comprehensive Services From MedCentris

Treating complex wounds may be outside the scope of practice for your skilled nursing staff and takes time away from your regular nursing home care. With MedCentris, your residents benefit from specialized Wound Medicine while your staff gains the tools and training to treat wounds effectively.
