Harriett, a dedicated wife and mother, suffered from a pressure ulcer for months. Her daughter, Linda, took her to the doctor several times and was told that the ulcer would not heal for a year. Linda sat in her car, frustrated, in tears and determined to find a solution. Finally, her mother’s home health nurse recommended Restore First Health.
What Are Pressure Ulcers and Why Do They Take So Long to Heal?
Pressure ulcers (or bedsores) develop when prolonged pressure cuts off blood flow to an area of the skin, leading to tissue damage.
They’re especially common in patients with limited mobility, and healing can be slow due to:
- Reduced circulation
- Increased risk of infection
- Underlying health conditions (e.g., diabetes, poor nutrition)
Many patients, like Harriett, are told they’ll be in for a long and painful recovery. But with our advanced wound care we can treat patients quicker and, in the place, they call home.

How Restore First Health Provided a Faster, Better Solution
From the moment our team arrived, Linda knew her mother was in good hands. On the very first visit, our nurse practitioner established a strong line of communication, not just with Harriett’s home health nurse, but also with Linda.
Our medical experts walked Linda through every step of her mother’s treatment, from the conservative wound management that stabilized the ulcer to our advanced wound care techniques. Not only did we explain our process, but we educated Linda on how to care for her mother, when our team was not there.
