Diabetic foot ulcer care · Olivette
Diabetic foot ulcer treatment in Olivette — at the bedside.
Diabetic foot ulcers rarely heal on their own, and every missed appointment is lost ground. Our licensed wound care clinicians treat diabetic foot ulcers at the bedside — serial measurement, wound bed preparation, debridement when clinically indicated, offloading guidance, and close infection surveillance — so healing doesn't depend on the patient getting to a clinic. In Olivette, that means treating patients at home, in senior living, and in skilled nursing facilities near Creve Coeur, Ladue, and the Olive Boulevard medical corridor — without asking anyone to arrange transport to a wound clinic.

What treatment involves
How we treat diabetic foot ulcers.
Offloading that works in real life
Pressure redistribution and footwear guidance built around how the patient actually moves at home or in the facility.
Infection and vascular vigilance
Early escalation for spreading redness, drainage changes, probing depth, or signs of arterial compromise — before a wound becomes a hospitalization.
Specialist coordination
Visit notes shared with podiatry, vascular, endocrinology, and the primary care physician so the whole team sees the same wound.
Where we see patients
Olivette homes, senior living, and facilities.
At home
Bedside visits for Olivette patients with mobility limits, transportation barriers, or caregiver strain.

Diabetic foot ulcer care in Olivette: quick answers.
How often will a clinician visit?
Most diabetic foot ulcers are seen weekly, with frequency adjusted to the wound. Worsening wounds are escalated quickly rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit.
Is in-home diabetic foot ulcer care covered by Medicare?
Coverage depends on the plan and the clinical situation. Call us with the patient's information and we'll walk you through it before any care begins — no surprises.
What happens if the ulcer isn't improving?
We don't keep doing the same thing. If a wound stalls, we reassess offloading and perfusion and coordinate imaging, vascular referral, or a higher level of care with the patient's physicians.
Do you really come to Olivette?
Yes — Olivette is inside our core Greater St. Louis service area, and our clinicians see patients there at home and in facilities. Call 314-325-0126 and we'll confirm scheduling for your address.
