Andwell Health Partners launches Mobile Wound Care, offering critical services eliminating barriers to care

Andwell Health Partners, formerly Androscoggin Home Healthcare + Hospice, has launched its new Mobile Wound Care service in Androscoggin County, Oxford County, and parts of Franklin, Cumberland, Kennebec, and Sagadahoc to address a growing need in these communities while also eliminating barriers to critical care.

“Our new service brings professional wound care directly to the patient, whether they live at home, in assisted living, or at a long-term care facility,” said Shauna Lane, Family Nurse Practitioner, Andwell Mobile Wound Care.  “Because we serve the patient in their home, transportation is eliminated as a barrier to care.”

Accessing timely care presents additional challenges for rural areas where transportation issues can be difficult to navigate.  Andwell Mobile Wound Care provides an essential solution by removing the need for travel, reducing wait times to improve outcomes, and eliminates barriers to access.

Andwell clinicians bring more than just bandages.

“Andwell’s Mobile Wound Care is holistic in its approach,” said Mary DeSalle, Geriatric Nurse Practitioner. “There are so many variables to healing. By meeting with patients where they live, we assess their environment, develop goals together, and provide support every step of the way to a better quality of life.”

In addition to specialized wound care, Andwell Health Partners offers a full spectrum of home-based services, ensuring that patients receive care tailored to their individualized needs.

“Andwell’s breadth and depth of home and community-based services means we can easily and effectively connect our patients with additional care they need,” said Lane.

This multidisciplinary approach includes access to physical and occupational therapy as well as a full range of home-based healthcare to complement wound care.

The introduction of Andwell Mobile Wound Care solidifies Andwell Health Partners’ commitment to enhancing community health and wellbeing by making critical services accessible to all, regardless of location or mobility challenges.
