Del Mar is a small, affluent coastal city between the bluffs and the racetrack, and it has one of the oldest populations in San Diego County — roughly three in ten residents are 65 or older. That demographic shapes the wounds our clinicians see here more than anything else: pressure injuries in older adults with limited mobility, venous leg ulcers tied to years of chronic swelling, and post-surgical wounds in patients recovering from orthopedic or vascular procedures at the Scripps and UC San Diego hospitals up the coast in La Jolla and Encinitas. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners visit patients throughout the city — the walkable blocks of Del Mar Village along Camino del Mar, the beachfront homes of the Del Mar Beach Colony, the hillside streets of Olde Del Mar, and the Crest neighborhood inland toward the fairgrounds. Del Mar has no hospital of its own, and for an older resident recovering at home, the drive down to La Jolla or over to Encinitas for a weekly wound-clinic visit is exactly the kind of obstacle that lets a wound stall. Bringing the visit to the living room removes that barrier entirely. Because so many Del Mar wound patients are seniors living independently or with a spouse, family caregivers are often part of every visit. Our clinicians walk the caregiver through dressing changes, offloading, and the warning signs of infection so care continues correctly between appointments. When a household is more comfortable in Spanish or another language, our coordination team arranges interpreter support at scheduling so nothing about the treatment plan gets lost. We coordinate with discharge planning teams at Scripps Memorial La Jolla, Scripps Memorial Encinitas, and UC San Diego Health so patients leaving the hospital with a surgical wound, pressure injury, or non-healing ulcer move to physician-led care at home without a gap. Wound measurements, photographs, and notes go back to the discharging team and the primary care physician after each visit. Care is typically covered under Medicare Part B, Medicare Advantage, and most commercial plans. Our coordination line at 877-545-1300 is open 24/7.
Del Mar is a senior-heavy coastal community with no hospital inside city limits, so every wound-clinic appointment means a drive to La Jolla or Encinitas — a real burden for an 80-year-old recovering from surgery or managing a venous leg ulcer that needs the leg elevated, not sitting in traffic and a waiting room. For these patients, the repeated trip is where the treatment plan quietly breaks down. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners bring hospital-grade wound care to the home: sharp debridement, infection surveillance, negative pressure wound therapy, multilayer compression for venous disease, advanced dressings, and cellular tissue products when clinically indicated. Consistency is what closes a chronic wound, and seeing the patient where they already are — whether in a Del Mar Village condo, a Beach Colony home, or an Olde Del Mar hillside house — is what keeps the schedule intact week after week.
