Specialist wound care delivered to your home or senior community in Des Peres — steps from St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital, without the clinic visit.
Des Peres is one of the most affluent and well-connected communities in West St. Louis County, with a zip code of 63131 that covers quiet residential neighborhoods, executive homes, and a growing senior population choosing to age in place. The presence of St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital at 2345 Dougherty Ferry Road makes it a natural hub for post-acute care coordination — and a natural fit for our mobile wound care practice.
When a patient is discharged from St. Luke's Des Peres with a wound that requires ongoing specialist attention, the path forward matters. Gateway Wound Care nurse practitioners visit patients directly in Des Peres — in their homes on quiet streets off Manchester Road, at senior assisted living communities nearby, or wherever recovery is taking place. We eliminate the transportation barrier and bring treatment-grade wound care to your door.
Patients in Des Peres frequently live in established neighborhoods including Old Orchard, Country Life Acres, and the areas near Des Peres Park. Many are managing wounds alongside complex chronic conditions like diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, or heart failure — exactly the patient population that benefits most from mobile, specialist-led wound management.
Patients managing wounds alongside other health conditions often can't safely drive to clinic appointments. Our NPs come to you — at home or at a senior community — so healing happens without the stress of travel.
We coordinate directly with St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, and other area discharge teams. When a physician recommends wound care follow-up at home, we're the specialist they can count on for prompt, high-quality visits.
We verify your insurance benefits before the first visit. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major commercial plans — with no surprise billing and transparent communication throughout.
Our nurse practitioners don't just change dressings — they perform complete wound assessments, implement evidence-based protocols, manage wound vac therapy, and coordinate with your primary physician or specialist.
We provide mobile wound care throughout Des Peres (zip 63131), visiting patients at private residences and at senior living communities in the area.
