Why Wound Care Matters In Hospice

In hospice, wound care has a different purpose than in other settings. Complete healing may not always be possible, but comfort, protection, and infection prevention always are.

Thoughtful wound care can:

Reduce pain and discomfort
Minimize odor and drainage
Lower the risk of infection and complications
Protect fragile skin from additional breakdown
Help your loved one feel cleaner, calmer, and more at ease

Our approach is practical and compassionate, built around what is realistic at home and what matters most to your family.

How Our Team Supports Wound Care

Wound care in hospice is never one person’s job, it is a coordinated team effort. Our nurses, CNAs, and other clinicians work together to support you and your loved one through each stage.

We help by:

Assessing wounds regularly – size, depth, drainage, odor, pain, and surrounding skin
Choosing appropriate dressings and supplies – based on comfort, protection, and ease of use
Creating a simple wound care routine – that fits your loved one’s condition and your capacity as a caregiver
Teaching you what to do between visits and when to call – so you are not guessing alone
Communicating changes with the Medical Director – especially if pain, infection, or rapid change appears

Our focus remains the same at every visit: comfort, dignity, and protection, not just checking a box on a chart.

What To Expect During a Wound Care Visit

Knowing what will happen can make wound care feel less intimidating. During a typical wound-focused visit, your nurse will:

Ask how your loved one has been feeling and if there have been changes in pain, odor, or drainage
Remove old dressings carefully, watching for signs of discomfort and infection
Clean and assess the wound and surrounding skin
Apply new dressings that best match the wound’s current needs
Review any positioning, pressure-relief strategies, or skin-care steps to use between visits
Explain what they are seeing in simple language and when you should call for extra help

You are welcome to participate, observe, or step out for a moment, whatever feels right for you and your loved one.

When to Ask for Extra Wound Care Support

You never have to wait for a crisis before asking for help. It is important to reach out if you notice:

Increased redness, warmth, swelling, or pain around a wound
New or worsening odor or drainage
Fever or signs of infection
New areas of skin breakdown (heels, hips, tailbone, elbows, shoulders, ears)
Dressings that are difficult to keep in place or become soaked quickly
Concerns that the current plan is not working or is too hard to manage

If you are unsure whether something is urgent, we would rather you call and ask. Our nurses and on-call support can help decide what is needed.

What Happens If Wounds Are Not Supported Well

Without proper wound support:

Pain and discomfort can worsen
Infection risk increases, sometimes leading to hospital visits
Odor and drainage may cause distress or embarrassment
Skin breakdown can spread to new areas
Caregivers may feel afraid to touch or move their loved one

With a thoughtful hospice wound care, families often notice:

Better daily comfort for the patient
Fewer unexpected crises
More confidence during dressing changes
Relief knowing the wound is being monitored closely
A calmer environment for everyone

Caring for a spouse as their health declines is one of the most challenging experiences a person can face. The emotional and physical toll builds quietly, and even the strongest caregivers can feel overwhelmed. That is why the support we have received from AlevCare Hospice has been so meaningful. From the aides to the professional nursing staff, every member of the AlevCare team has shown exceptional compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and their proactive approach has brought reassurance and stability during a very vulnerable time. What has stood out most is the way they care for both the patient and the caregiver. They understand the strain families carry, and they consistently offer guidance, comfort, and genuine kindness. Their presence has made a profound difference in my spouse’s quality of life—and in mine. The care AlevCare provides is truly special. I am deeply grateful for their dedication, empathy, and the way they walk alongside families during life’s most difficult moments. They have my sincere appreciation and my strongest recommendation.

Kelly D.

My name is Kelly Dulac I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care provided by Alev Care Hospice during my mother’s final stage of life From the very beginning until her last moments, the entire team demonstrated extraordinary compassion, professionalism, and dedication. Every member of their staff—from the nurse who gently cared for her, to the social services team, and the spiritual support provided, showed genuine kindness and respect. One moment that stood out to me was the gentle and dignified way my mother was cared for during her personal needs. It reflected not only clinical excellence but true humanity. The team was always available, attentive, and thorough, ensuring that both my mother and our family felt supported every step of the way. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Alev Care Hospice was there for us with unwavering care and compassion. Because of this experience, I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing similar circumstances. Their work truly makes a difference, and I am incredibly thankful.

Amy A.

We want to thank you for the compassionate, caring, insightful, graceful and knowledgable care you so graciously provided in our time of need.

Deb R.

From the moment my husband Henry went on hospice, he was treated with respect, and with dignity. His nurses and social worker were the best of the best. I was his full time caretaker for 2and 1/2 years . He was my everything. Not only was Henry treated with respect but so was I. I will forever be grateful for them coming into our lives. Henry passed peacefully at home holding my hand and my heart on December 31, 2025. Alev Care was here for Henry and they are still here for me. I know that I made the right choice for his care with Alev Care.

If you are having to choose a hospice service, you cannot go wrong with AlevCare. I have known Becky Woodall for 30 years, and knew that if Becky was associated with them, they would be top notch. However, I had no idea how awesome and compassionate they would be. Not only were they attentive to my dying father, they were also very considerate of our family. They treated my daddy with dignity when caring for his physical needs, which was really important to my mother. They also consistently checked to see if our family had everything we needed. Most impressive to me was the fact they have a child life specialist that was available to my children, and she even said if they needed her down the road to not hesitate to call. Every single person we came in contact with was compassionate and caring and were not just there for a paycheck. We were very blessed to have AlevCare during Daddy's final days.

Debbie L.

This has been the best hospice care team for me and my family! Through our most difficult time of my mother's last months and days, we had the best care team! The nurses treated mom so well and made her last days here with us the best as possible. The grief counselor Kelly Cox started counseling for my daughter from the very beginning of my mom going on hospice. Kelly has continued counseling with my daughter for over a year. She has been the best support to not only my daughter, but to me as well. We will for ever be grateful for her support and the support of all of the team. I would definitely recommend Alevecare hospice to anyone who's loved one needs hospice care. They will treat you just like family! Thank you Alevecare hospice for all of your support!

Choosing AlecCare over other companies was easy. Being able to have a familiar face during a hard time in my life made everything an ease. Hospice transition is never something anyone wants to face. Becky was by my side, on every call and literally right there when I needed her; during every step of my grandmother going home. Til this day—she makes sure I am okay and checks in periodically, which really matters the most because she does not have too. Becky Woodall is AlevCare! I would recommend this company to anyone!

Tedra F.

End of life decisions and care are never easy. However, when the need arises, having someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate and trustworthy makes the experience more bearable. AlevCare Hospice is an excellent choice. Becky Woodall was instrumental in helping my family navigate the process of choosing the right type of care needed for our loved one. She seamlessly coordinated with facilities, physicians and transportation. Her kindness, compassion and competency made such a difference for our family in a difficult situation. Becky is truly an angel in disguise. I would gladly recommend AlecCare Hospice to any friend or family.

Martha E.

My husband came home from the hospital end of October 2024 with AlevCare. They were wonderful! Becky Woodall made the arrangements, and every nurse, nurse assistant, and anyone else associated with them were so caring and compassionate with him and also with our family members. I wish I could remember all the names. He went on to be with Jesus on November 1 and the nurse and other staff were here immediately. They are truly caring people. Thank you Becky for reaching out to us for this service, which is also a ministry.

Rangler D.

Becky and staff were always there when needed for my mom. Our family had a wonderful experience with AlevCare Hospice.

As a registered nurse, I understand the level of dedication, skill, and compassion that quality end-of-life care requires, and the team at AlēvCare Hospice truly embodies those values. Over the years, I have personally seen the kindness and dignity they provide while caring for my grandparents, dear friends, and other family members. During some of life’s most tender and difficult moments, their attentiveness, compassion, and respect brought comfort not only to our loved ones but to our entire family. I have also known Becky Woodall since grade school, and her integrity and caring spirit have always stood out. Seeing those same qualities reflected in the work she does today brings great comfort and confidence in the care AlēvCare Hospice provides. Both personally and professionally, I am incredibly grateful for the support they offer families and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate hospice care.

Aleve care took care of my dear friend with Alzheimer's. I'm very grateful for Becky Woodall's Cleburne team. Thank you so much..

Stacy M.

Becky and her team have taken care of two family members in the past. I was confused on the next steps with both and one call to Becky made everything so much easier. She and her team made sure that both of my family members had the supplies they needed. The care they received was amazing and made their passing very comfortable. I cannot thank both Becky and her team of nurses for the quality of care and the love they have given to me and my family.

Kirsti E.

My father was only on hospice for a week, but during that week our family was well taken care of. The nurses were always available for us to ask questions and they were so kind. They were gentle my father in his last week and I would highly recommend them. Becky helped in more ways than can ever be fully thanked for.

Kara M.

Becky Woodall in her team, have taken care of my godmother who Lives on her own and has no immediate family. My godmother needs assistance four times a week and has met the requirements to be on hospice with a leaves help she is comfortable and at peace with her situation.. I am so grateful that I can contact the team anytime and they react immediately.

Chrisanne B.

My sister was recently placed in the care of AlevCare hospice. She has already received such wonderful care but also been treated with such kindness, compassion, and dignity. Starting off with Becky Woodall, who is such an amazing source of information and her willingness to help at the drop of a hat, to the kind and efficient nurses, the understanding social worker, the loving chaplain, and the family support member, all who provide support and help when my sister needed it most. Their team work together so well to help my sister, and give me the understanding and support I didn’t even know how much I needed.

Allison J.

Becky Woodall was the best by far. In an extremely difficult situation for our family , she literally took over & handled every aspect of the entire process. Can’t thank her enough! Her compassion & care is excellent!!

Baxter L.

In the past 5 years I have dealt with at least 7 different hospice companies. The reps and nurses are genuine in their intentions in caring for the elderly. But when the time comes to show me their compassion and communication skills, all have fallen short of their promises. Then I met Becky Woodall. She is the GOLD STANDARD for what a hospice company should be. Knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and empathetic. I really don’t have the vocabulary to express all that woman encompasses in her sweet heart. AlevCare has the staff to back up her promises. AlevCare has some of THE MOST caring nurses I have come across in the entire nursing industry. Becky has a plethora of knowledge about the hospice industry and the affects on the family; and what she doesn’t know, she is quick to find out. If AlevCare doesn’t provide a service (which is unlikely) they are quick to point you in the right direction for your needs. Your expectations and emotional needs will certainly be met with AlevCare and their staff.

My sister has been in the care of the AlevCare team. From starting the hospice process with Becky Woodall to the kind and efficient nurses, the understanding social worker. loving chaplain, to the new family team member we feel totally surrounded by people who not only love their job but are also providing my sister with great care as we navigate this journey.

Laura K.

Becky Woodall with AlevCare is the gold standard of home health care and hospice. She is knowledgeable of all aspects, whether finding hospital equipment or qualifying for benefits, Most of all, she is compassionate, professional, and treats the care of others as her own family. I will be forever grateful to Becky & her hospice team for the care with dignity extended to my mother.

Gary T.

I can't begin to express our gratitude for the care my dad received from Alevcare in Cleburne. Becky was wonderful, caring, and understanding as we began the process of placing my dad on Hospice. She was always available, no matter the hour of the day. My dad loved his care team. He had several nurses over the long period of time he was on Hospice who all did an outstanding job. Each one was always available when he needed them and they communicated well with me when I wasn't present for their meeting with him. He so enjoyed his visits with Tonya. She made him feel special and you could tell he loved her as a friend when he spoke about her. And Chaplain Angie, he looked so forward to her visits. She had a special place in his heart. He shared so much with her that he didn't share with others. He was very comfortable talking with her. As a matter of fact, she came to know him so well that we had her speak at his funeral. She did a wonderful job. We received many compliments from friends and family about her message. She REALLY knew him. His aids, who came Monday through Friday, were also all wonderful. They took very good care of him to make sure he had a good day ahead of him. AlevCare has a wonderful staff. They are all receptive, caring, and available. They love what they do. Thank you Alevcare for loving my dad and the care each person gave him, and for showing him love, even when he might not have been very pleasant.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Becky Woodall and the entire AlevCare Hospice team. I have experienced their care both professionally and personally, and in both situations they have been nothing short of exceptional. I work in home care, and Becky is always just a phone call or text away when I have a family in need. Every family I’ve referred to AlevCare has shared incredibly positive experiences with their team. Right before Christmas, my family received a call from my uncle saying he didn’t have much time and wanted to come stay with us because he “didn’t want to die alone.” As he was driving from San Antonio to Weatherford, I called Becky and explained the situation. Within less than an hour she was at my mom’s doorstep with paperwork ready to go. Because of Becky and her team, we were able to get everything in place for my uncle within 24 hours of his arrival. The nurses were nothing short of exceptional, compassionate, and attentive. They ensured he was comfortable and cared for every step of the way. My uncle passed the day after Christmas and went to be with Jesus. It was not an easy time for our family, but the AlevCare team made an incredibly difficult situation more peaceful and manageable. If you are looking for a hospice team that truly cares, shows up when it matters most, and treats families with dignity and compassion, I cannot recommend Becky Woodall and AlevCare Hospice enough.

Doug D.

The WHOLE STAFF was professional, compassionate, informative, patient, and responsive. Their team made the whole process of mom's passing less stressful. They were caring and comforting. My sister and I are very grateful for the service of AlevCare Hospice of Mansfield, Texas.

Kema J.

My mother was cared for by AlevCare during the last few months of her life. From the administration, volunteers, chaplains, aids and especially the nurses the care she received was top notch. My sister and I feel that their compassionate and thoughtful care greatly improved the quality of her life. Additionally, they communicated with us frequently and we knew what to expect. Since Mom passed (gently and painlessly)they have been very supportive for our family. I highly recommend AlevCare.
