Specialist wound care for Kirkwood's active senior community — delivered to your home, independent living community, or skilled nursing facility, without a clinic visit.
Kirkwood is one of the oldest incorporated suburbs west of the Mississippi River and remains one of St. Louis County's most vibrant communities — with a downtown Main Street, well-maintained Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods, and a senior population that skews higher than much of the surrounding area. Aberdeen Heights alone, the full-continuum CCRC on Couch Avenue, serves hundreds of Kirkwood seniors across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.
For older adults in Kirkwood managing chronic wounds — particularly those in the zip code 63122 living near Geyer Road, Big Bend Boulevard, or the residential areas bordering Webster Groves and Des Peres — access to specialist wound care can be the difference between a wound that heals and one that leads to hospitalization. Gateway Wound Care brings that specialist access directly to patients, eliminating the burden of transportation while delivering NP-led treatment at home.
We serve patients in Kirkwood's independent living communities, assisted living facilities, and private homes — coordinating with referring physicians at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, St. Luke's Des Peres Hospital, and Mercy Hospital. If a Kirkwood patient has been seen at any of these systems, our NPs can pick up their care at home within 24 to 48 hours of a referral.
Kirkwood's older adult population often relies on family members or community transportation for clinic visits. Our mobile model eliminates that dependency — we come to the patient, whether in a private home or a senior community.
Research consistently shows that patients heal faster in familiar environments with lower infection exposure. Our home visits let patients recover in their own space while receiving specialist-grade wound care.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans. Benefits are verified before the first visit. Kirkwood's senior population is among our most Medicare-active patient groups, and our billing team handles the documentation.
Our NPs don't work in isolation. We document each visit and communicate with your attending physician, specialist, or facility care team so your care remains coordinated and your medical record is complete.
We provide mobile wound care visits throughout Kirkwood (63122), including at senior living communities and private homes across the city.
We also serve patients in adjacent communities — Webster Groves, Glendale, and Des Peres — from our Kirkwood-area coverage zone. If you're unsure whether we cover your address, call us.
Call (314) 689-1320 or fax a referral to (314) 689-1318. Physicians and care teams at Aberdeen Heights and other Kirkwood facilities can fax patient documentation directly.
Our care coordinator verifies insurance and confirms the appointment. We contact the patient or family to confirm timing and address any questions before the initial visit.
A nurse practitioner arrives at the Kirkwood home or facility, completes a thorough wound assessment, initiates treatment, and creates an ongoing care plan in coordination with the patient's physician team.
