The recovery period after undergoing surgery can be lengthy and uncomfortable. Those discharged from hospitals after surgery or illness often have a difficult time caring for themselves. In these cases, family members may be called in to help, but often do not have the time or skills to take on the responsibility of becoming a caregiver. Caring for a loved one becomes more difficult if they decide to recover at home rather than in a post-operative care facility or nursing home.
Here at Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide after-surgery care services for seniors in Homer Glen, IL, and the surrounding areas. Our caregivers will assist with household tasks and ensure patients follow their doctor’s instructions for a complete recovery.
Post Operative Care in Homer Glen, IL
It is common for surgery patients to get readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. This is often due to patients not following doctor’s orders or taking it easy and resting. Our caregivers will take the time to understand your loved one’s discharge instructions to ensure that they are followed. We will provide the personal care and assistance your loved ones need when they return home and help take care of certain household activities to allow your loved ones to rest.
Our transitional care services include the following:
- Meal preparation
- Running errands
- Assistance with light housekeeping and laundry
- Help with dressing, bathing, and other personal hygiene tasks
- Medication reminders
- Coordinating durable medical equipment delivery
- Setting up appointments with the physician for labs or tests
- Non-emergency transportation from the facility to the home
- Clear communication of discharge orders to the patient and their loved ones
After Surgery Home Care
The recovery process after surgery is often not easy and can take some time. To aid a quick recovery and avoid readmittance, patients must follow discharge orders. This usually includes taking medication, getting rest, etc. The post-surgery period may cause the patient to be impacted by medication, unable to walk, or just in need of additional support. Our caregivers are trained and skilled in providing after-surgery home care services for your loved ones during their transition and recovery period.
