Wound care for Ulcer patients and Diabetics

It’s an uphill battle to maintain the health and well being of the elderly, especially since they are susceptible to falls and injuries. The problem becomes even tougher and more complicated if they have diabetes, since even a minor scratch could take awhile to heal. It becomes extremely frustrating for a caregiver at home, even if lots of hard work and dedication is put in to treat an illness or injury. Then even if one problem gets cured, another one may surface, due to the delicate physical condition and fragile body of an elderly person with health problems. This is a good example of when professional help is needed, ideally from a rehabilitation center.

Valley House Rehabilitation Center located in Santa Clara County, California has wound care programs for ulcer patients and diabetics. By making use of state-of-the-art technology accompanied with the unconditional care, vigilance and support of a trained and experienced team, the patient is sure to make rapid progress in their health and independency. Elderly care, especially for those with ulcers and/or diabetes, should never be neglected as it could become unmanageable in the future.

Call 408.988.7667 to arrange an appointment. A hospital coordinator will meet with you at the Center for a pre-admission evaluation.
