Seamless Coordination with Hospitals
We work closely with both public and private hospital systems through various partnerships and agreements, ensuring seamless care whether you’re transitioning home from a hospital stay or require ongoing wound management.
We can also work with your GP, specialist or healthcare team to help ensure your care continues smoothly at home.
To make the process even easier, a specialist nurse will visit when required to assist with onboarding and complete the referral process, so you can start receiving care without delay.
Wounds we can support
Lumia Care can support a range of wound care needs at home, including:
Surgical wounds after an operation.
Pressure injuries, also known as pressure sores or bed sores.
Skin tears, cuts and lacerations.
Leg ulcers and foot ulcers.
Diabetic wounds.
Wounds that are slow to heal.
Wounds that need regular dressing changes or monitoring.
Complex wound care needs, including lymphoedema (swelling caused by a build-up of fluid) and lower leg ulcers that require compression therapy.
Why Proper Wound Care Matters
When a wound doesn’t heal properly, it can affect more than just your skin—it can impact your mobility, independence, and overall well-being. Without the right care, wounds may become infected, cause prolonged discomfort, and even lead to hospitalisation. However, with timely treatment, regular monitoring, and expert support, the healing process can be much smoother and more comfortable.
