Wound Care - Nurse Services
The Caribbean Home Help Barbados nursing team works closely with your or our doctors to provide a holistic approach, beginning with an assessment of the patient’s nutritional condition, general medical status, circulation, neuropathy, infection risks, and deformities. Using this information, the team creates an individualized treatment plan to effectively address the non-healing wounds.
A chronic wound is one that has stalled in the healing process. Symptoms of chronic wounds include:
Bleeding—Healing wounds will scab over and stop bleeding. If a wound still bleeds after a few weeks, it could be a chronic wound.
Discharge—Yellowish, milky, or thick liquid oozing from a wound is a sign of infection, which can stop healing in its tracks.
Fever – If your temperature runs higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours, see a doctor as soon as possible. A fever could indicate a serious complication.
Odour – Foul-smelling wounds likely have dead tissue that needs to be removed for the wound to heal.
Pain – If pain lingers or becomes worse weeks after you first notice it, the wound may not be healing.
Swelling – Chronic wounds can appear red and swollen, even after several days or weeks.
Caribbean Home Help cares for patients with all types of chronic and slow-healing wounds, including ulcers, burns, and infections.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
I cannot thank Caribbean Home Help enough for the professional care and great kindness shown to my relatives and to my family. Without them, I think I would truly have had a breakdown.
I would recommend Caribbean Home Help to anyone looking for a superb support system in terms of giving excellent care to their loved ones. At a time when we were at a crossroads not knowing where to go and what to expect they were there to guide us, giving us that personable reassurance that we would not have to go the journey alone. Both management and staff have been very supportive and have provided excellent care.
The Caribbean Home Help team responded promptly to our urgent needs to provide nursing care for our Mother. The team cleaned the entire home and made Mum feel comfortable. They took good care of Mum, transporting her to the doctor and taking care of her daily needs. They respond quickly and keep you informed, we really appreciated this. I would definitely recommend their team."
