For seniors there can be slip and fall accidents leading to surgery on their knees or hips, which is the most common brake. Having surgery can be extremely intense for their bodies at such an elderly age. That's why it's essential that post-operative care is received following any surgical procedure.
Recovering from the comfort of your own home with post-operative care provides great peace of mind. Retaining a professional will help you to follow the discharge instructions to the letter. Once you've been discharged from a hospital, the risk for falling, mismanaged medication, as well as pain management needs, can drastically increase.
They can assist with needs such as...
* Transportation to and from post-operative follow-up appointments
* Medication pickup, grocery shopping, and other miscellaneous errands
* Meal planning and preparation
* Authorized communication with healthcare providers and loved ones
*Check that your wound is healing properly, and does not look infected
*Follow any post-op orders that are given for wound and drain care
While everyone wishes to be at home to help their loved one fully recover, this is not always doable. Having the responsibilities of going to work, children, and other unavoidable obligations can make caring for someone after surgery very hard and stressful.
Now, our mission is to give you the peace of mind that your family deserves.
