Assisting Hands Home Care Serving Jacksonville Beaches provides in-home care after surgery across Jacksonville, the Beaches, St. Johns County, and Nassau County, so your loved one can recover safely at home.<\/p>\n<h2>What recovery at home looks like<\/h2>\n<p>Recovery after orthopedic surgery usually means limited movement for a while, walkers or other mobility aids, pain that makes simple tasks tiring, and exercises from the physical therapist. The risk of a fall is often higher than usual, especially in the bathroom and at night.<\/p>\n<h2>How in-home care helps<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>help getting in and out of bed and chairs, and moving safely around the home<\/li>\n<li>bathing, dressing, and grooming while movement is limited<\/li>\n<li>meal preparation and grocery shopping<\/li>\n<li>light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping walkways clear<\/li>\n<li>medication reminders<\/li>\n<li>rides to follow-up and physical therapy appointments<\/li>\n<li>encouragement to keep up with the exercises the therapist recommends<\/li>\n<li>company during a recovery that can feel long and isolating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Planning before surgery<\/h2>\n<p>If surgery is scheduled, plan care ahead of time. Talk with us before the procedure so we can learn your loved one&#8217;s home and routine, and so care is ready the day they come home. It also helps to set up the home in advance: clear walkways, move everyday items within reach, and arrange a safe place to sit in the shower.<\/p>\n<h2>How much care is needed?<\/h2>\n<p>Many people need the most help in the first days and weeks, then less as they regain strength. Care can be <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/hourly-home-care\/\">a few hours a day<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/overnight-home-care\/\">awake overnight care<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/services\/24-hour-home-care\/\">24-hour care provided in shifts<\/a>, and it can change as needs change.<\/p>\n<p>Our caregivers are our own W-2 employees, including certified home health aides and certified nursing assistants, trained in CPR and First Aid. Every caregiver passes a state background check, and our agency is licensed, insured, and bonded. We work with most home medical equipment, such as walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds. Our care is non-medical: we do not provide wound care, feeding tubes, injections, or anything that goes in the body. We work alongside your loved one&#8217;s doctors, nurses, and therapists, and we do not replace them.<\/p>\n<h2>The right team, and a family that stays informed<\/h2>\n<p>Our Care Coordinator matches caregivers to your loved one&#8217;s needs and personality and works to send the same faces back. Our team checks in often, including visits in person from our owner, our Care Manager, or another team member, so we all agree on what your loved one needs. Once care begins, you can reach us 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Do you only help older adults after surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>No. We help adults of any age who need support at home while they recover.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a caregiver help with physical therapy exercises?<\/h3>\n<p>Our caregivers can encourage and remind your loved one to do the exercises their therapist recommends. The therapist directs the therapy itself.<\/p>\n<h3>Can we arrange care for a set period?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Many families arrange care for the weeks of recovery and adjust hours as their loved one improves.<\/p>\n<h2>Start with a conversation<\/h2>\n<p>Care starts with a free in-home assessment, where we learn your loved one&#8217;s routine, home, and needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/95\/florida\/jacksonvillebeaches\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to talk about home care after surgery.<\/p>\n<p><em>Assisting Hands Home Care Serving Jacksonville Beaches.
