Abstract: 97-year-old female resident of a long-term care facility presented to the Wound Care Clinic with two painful ulcers on her left foot that appeared in the previous two months. She was referred to a Vascular Surgeon six months into treatment as the wounds were not healing and continued to cause pain. This case report looks at some of the issues involved in managing this complex patient.
