Coming home after a surgery or hospital stay is difficult, especially for seniors and adults with disabilities. Patients are normally discharged before they make a full recovery, and they are given discharge instructions to continue to recover at home. It is important for patients returning home to follow their discharge instructions and take their medications as directed while avoiding too much activity that could lead to an injury or a setback. Having someone in the home to help with personal care and ensure that discharge instructions are followed can help aid in the recovery.

After-Surgery Home Care
Our caregivers can provide you or your loved ones with complete transitional care after being discharged from the hospital. We will understand the discharge instructions and make sure that these instructions are followed and that your loved ones get enough rest to make their recovery. We will also help with personal care and assistance, and we can look for changes in condition and notify you or the doctor when something changes.

Patient Sitters
Sometimes illnesses or surgeries can keep people in the hospital for an extended period of time. If you or a loved one must spend a lot of time at the hospital, we can help with our patient sitter and hospital sitter services. Our patient sitters will provide your loved ones with company while at the hospital, help with personal care not provided by nurses and doctors, and act as the patient’s advocate with hospital staff. Our care and assistance will not interfere with the care provided by doctors and nurses. We can also update your family on your loved one’s condition.
We offer patient sitter services hourly, overnight, and 24/7.
