Results-Driven Care
The McGuire Group’s Garden Gate Health Care
Facility has developed a specialized wound care management program designed to
meet the unique needs of patients with diabetes, those with non-healing wounds,
and the elderly. The program’s focus is to promote complete healing and
recovery.
Expert Medical Care
The McGuire Group’s wound care program was developed and is supervised by Dr.
Corstiaan Brass, Board Certified in Infectious Disease, and Dr. Raymond
Schultz, Board Certified in Reconstructive Surgery.

dining room, or being served in their room.

Pre-Admission Program
The McGuire Group specializes in working with
patients and their Physicians to pre-plan their stay before being admitted to
the hospital, or in some cases, avoiding a hospital stay altogether. The
following is a basic outline of the process:
-
When the Physician schedules surgery, patients are encouraged to contact Garden
Gate Health Care Facility.
-
A nurse then contacts the patient to provide information regarding our program,
either over the phone or in person.
-
A tour of the facility can be arranged.
-
All insurance requirements will be taken care of by The McGuire Group, and a
bed will be reserved for the patient on the appropriate day after surgery.
This program ensures a smooth transition between
the hospital, our facility and home. Patients can be confident that when they
go to the hospital, everything will be in place to immediately begin their road
to recovery.
Please contact the Admission Coordinator at Garden Gate Health Care Facility.
“The development of a comprehensive wound care program was instrumental in the
transition from hospital to home without requiring re-admission to the
hospital. The services provided in this program are unique to Western New
York.”

teamwork, excellence, and improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.”
