During the first days back home after an operation, following your doctor’s instructions is crucial. Unexpected complications or additional pain may arise if you overexert yourself by doing even simple tasks around the house, or fail to take your medications.
Getting back on your feet post-operation is a process, and having a trained professional by your side can help. An in-home caregiver not only provides hands-on after surgery care, but also gives you and your loved ones tremendous peace of mind.
At Assisting Hands Home Care serving Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Wheeling, IL and the surrounding areas, post-operative caregivers are trained to recognize the signs or symptoms that warrant a call to the doctor. Knowing that someone is keeping an eye on your progress and making sure you’re safe is critical to healing and recovery.
