Chronic Wound Care at Home

The C.A.R.E. Method: Check, Avoid, Record, Escalate — safer healing, one day at a time.

$5.99 A practical guide for family caregivers

A wound that isn't healing right rarely announces itself loudly.

Chronic wounds — from pressure sores to slow-healing surgical sites — are one of the most common and most under-explained challenges family caregivers face. Dressings get changed, but caregivers are rarely told what a healthy healing wound should actually look like, or which changes mean it's time to call for help rather than wait and see. Chronic Wound Care at Home was built around the C.A.R.E. Method — Check, Avoid, Record, Escalate — a simple framework for daily observation, prevention of common complications, careful documentation, and knowing exactly when professional intervention is needed. Written for family caregivers and home care providers without a clinical background, the book turns an anxiety-inducing responsibility into a manageable daily routine.
