With medical expenses on the rise, hospitals and rehab facilities want to move patients out as quickly as possible. If your aging loved one has been in the hospital for surgery or an illness, you may need to find post-operative care for them.

Instead of leaving them in a long-term nursing facility as they recuperate, Assisting Hands Home Care caregivers can provide the after-surgery care that our clients need in the comfort of their own home.

Give us a call at (630) 407-1932 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your loved one’s needs and how our post-surgical care services can help.

Post-Operative Care Services

Whether your aging loved one needs help with personal care such as bathing or dressing, eating, walking, medication reminders, or other post-surgery care, the caregivers at Assisting Hands Home Care will provide the assistance they need during their recuperation.

This post-operative care also allows them to stay home versus spending time in a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Our home health aides can provide the post-operative care our clients need to bridge the gap during this interim recovery period. This after-surgery care can help prevent the most common reasons for hospital re-admission.

Why Choose Assisting Hands Home Care?

Each of our caregivers has been trained to follow all post-operative care instructions from the doctor, nurse, or discharge coordinator. This includes the types of foods they should eat, which medications and at what times, physical therapy appointments, and activities to avoid.

We can help after surgery when you can’t be there

When you cannot be there, our caregivers can help with a variety of services to prevent hospital re-admission, including:

  • Providing safe transportation for your aging loved one and their belongings from the hospital or rehab facility to their home
  • Picking up prescriptions, groceries or other supplies
  • Preparing nutritious meals
  • Monitoring medication intake
  • Assisting with daily activities while your aging loved one continues to gain strength
  • Transporting to doctors’ appointments

(See our Full List of Services)

Assisting Hands Home Care can provide additional post-surgery care to our clients based on their needs. If your aging loved one could benefit from additional companionship, help with household chores, or assistance with daily living activities after their rehabilitation period, some or all of these services can be extended.

Recovering After an Operation

It’s normal to still feel pain after a surgery, especially within the first 24 hours after the operation. The patient may feel weak, unable to walk, need extra support, or feel dizzy from their medications. Our caregivers are highly trained and certified to provide all of the care needed to help you or your loved one recover. We are committed to providing the patient a smooth transition and a full recovery, all in the comfort of their own home.

Post-Surgical Home Care Services in Hinsdale, IL – FAQs

What does post-surgical home care include?

Post-surgical home care provides non-medical assistance to help individuals recover safely and comfortably at home after surgery. Services often include help with walking and transfers, bathing and dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and general safety supervision. By handling daily tasks, caregivers allow clients to focus on rest and healing while reducing the risk of strain or injury during recovery.

Why is home care important after surgery?

After surgery, seniors often need additional support with mobility, personal care, and everyday activities while they recover. In-home care helps reduce physical strain, lowers the risk of falls or setbacks, and provides reassurance during the healing process, allowing for a safer and more comfortable recovery at home.

How soon can post-surgery care begin after hospital discharge?

In many cases, post-surgical care can begin within 24–48 hours after discharge. Once we understand the recovery needs, and preferred schedule, we work quickly to arrange care. Prompt support is especially helpful immediately after returning home, when mobility may be limited and extra assistance is most needed. To learn more, call (630) 407-1932.

Is post-surgical care short-term or ongoing?

Post-surgical care is commonly short-term and designed to support recovery during the initial healing phase. However, care can be extended or adjusted if recovery takes longer than expected or if additional support is needed. Services are always flexible and based on how recovery progresses.

How does post-surgical care help reduce complications?

Caregivers assist with safe movement, follow established routines, and help reduce fall risks by providing supervision and assistance with daily activities. Avoiding overexertion during recovery can support a smoother and more comfortable healing process.

“When my life was on hold and didn't know where to turn, Assisting Hands were there and I was truly blessed. Not only with their caring assistance but with Bridget, our Caregiver. She takes excellent care of my husband, down with a broken ankle, etc. and meets his every need. She brings light into our lives every morning. She is caring, intuitive, considerate and just great to have with us. Thank you all”

“As a Healthcare professional i appreciate the fact that Assisting Hands is owned and operated by individuals who are also Physical Therapist. Many seniors are coming home from the hospital/rehab facility and require ongoing care. I believe Assisting Hands can offer another layer to their care plans due to their first hand knowledge of the rehab world. Keep up the good work!”
