Pressure injury care · Mehlville
Pressure injury treatment in Mehlville — at the bedside.
Pressure injuries develop quickly and heal slowly, and they are hardest on patients who can't easily travel to a wound clinic. Our clinicians treat stage 1 through stage 4 pressure injuries, unstageable wounds, and deep tissue injuries at the bedside — with accurate staging, measurement, debridement when indicated, and pressure-relief guidance the caregivers around the patient can actually follow. In Mehlville, that means treating patients at home, in senior living, and in skilled nursing facilities near south county hospitals and home health networks — without asking anyone to arrange transport to a wound clinic.

Pressure injury care in Mehlville: quick answers.
Can a bed sore really heal at home?
Many can, with consistent pressure relief, the right dressings, and regular clinical reassessment. Deep or complicated wounds may also need surgical or specialist input, which we coordinate.
Do you work with our home health agency or facility staff?
Yes. We complement — not replace — the nurses already caring for the patient, and we share findings and the care plan after each visit.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the plan and the situation. Call us and we'll walk you through it before care begins.
Do you really come to Mehlville?
Yes — Mehlville 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.
