Lorien Health Services, a family-owned nursing home, rehabilitation, and assisted living company,announced its Mt. Airy location has been certified by Vohra Wound Physicians as a Center of Excellence for Wound Management. Only 10% of Vohra’s skilled nursing facility partners have qualified for this annual certification.

“Lorien Health Services places a top priority on healing and rehabilitating our residents to return them to their homes. We admit patients with chronic or complex wounds because we are equipped to treat them with our specialized wound management program,” said Lou Grimmel, CEO of Lorien Health Services.

Lorien Health Services partnered with Vohra Wound Physicians to bring physician-led bedside wound care to its Mt. Airy facility. A Vohra wound physician visits the facility weekly to treat residents with wound and skin issues. This reduces the need to send residents out to wound care centers or hospitals.

The multispecialty team at Lorien Health Services treats all types of wounds including pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial wounds, diabetic neuropathic wounds, post-surgical wounds and others.

Lorien Health Services’ Mt. Airy facility has an interdisciplinary team to care for its residents. The wound physician works with the primary care physicians, physical therapists, staff nurses and other specialists to ensure residents are receiving excellent wound care.

As long-term facilities continue to provide more specialized services with complex ailments, the presence of a wound physician is an important link in providing superior care.
