Gentle, Expert Wound Care – Right at Home
Recovering from a post-surgical wound, pressure injury, or chronic wound requires the right care and support. Post-surgical wound care and ongoing wound management often require regular monitoring, dressing changes and clinical expertise to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Our Hospital in the Home (HITH) services provide expert wound care, prevention support and ongoing treatment for simple and complex wound care needs. With our specialised nursing team, you can heal safely and comfortably in the familiar surroundings of your home while receiving high-quality, professional care.

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.
Our team can also work directly with your GP, specialist or healthcare team to support continuity of care and keep your wound care plan aligned with your treatment goals and recovery needs. For patients requiring post surgical wound care, we help coordinate services after discharge, including dressing changes, monitoring and implementation of a personalised care plan for surgical wounds where required.
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.

Skin tears, cuts and lacerations from falls, accidents or everyday injuries.
Leg ulcers and foot ulcers that need regular assessment and specialised wound management.
Diabetic wounds requiring careful monitoring to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.

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.

Your Personalised Wound Care Plan
Every wound heals differently, which is why treatment should be tailored to the individual. At Lumia Care, we develop a personalised wound care plan based on your condition, medical requirements, recovery goals, and recommendations from your healthcare team.
A care plan for wound care may include dressing schedules, wound assessments, infection prevention strategies, pain management recommendations, and regular reviews by our nursing team. For patients recovering after surgery, a care plan for surgical wounds helps ensure healing is monitored closely while reducing the risk of complications.
Our nurses work closely with hospitals, specialists, and GPs to ensure your wound care nursing care plan remains appropriate throughout recovery and can be adjusted if your needs change.
Why Lumia Care is the Right Choice for Wound Care
At Lumia Care, we do more than just treat wounds—we provide expert, compassionate support to ensure your recovery is smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. Our personalised approach helps you heal faster, avoid complications, and stay independent at home.
Tailored Care Plans
Your treatment is guided by your doctor or specialist to ensure the best approach for healing. We create customised care plans based on your condition, recovery stage and personal needs, including support for chronic wounds, pressure injuries and post-surgical wound care.
Patients with more complex clinical needs may also require services such as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) or specialised wound management techniques delivered safely at home.
Pain and Comfort First
Healing should never be stressful. We work with you to make dressing changes more comfortable, reduce unnecessary discomfort and support your dignity throughout treatment.
Continuous Support and Monitoring
Healing can take time, and wound management needs can change. Our nurses regularly check your progress, update your care plan for wound care where needed and work with your healthcare team if treatment needs to be adjusted.
Fast Medical Coordination
If additional care is required, we act quickly and work with your GP, specialist or hospital team. This helps ensure changes in your wound condition are addressed promptly and your care remains clinically appropriate.
Our team can also coordinate related Hospital in the Home services, including PICC care and management and other clinically prescribed treatments that support ongoing recovery.
Avoid Hospital Stays
Our Hospital in the Home (HITH) services help you recover at home, reducing time spent in the hospital or avoiding admission altogether when clinically appropriate. This can be especially helpful for patients who need regular wound monitoring but do not require inpatient care.
Depending on your treatment plan, this support may also extend to services such as IV medication administration at home, allowing prescribed therapies to continue without the need for a prolonged hospital stay.
