Going through surgery is a difficult experience no matter what age, but it can be especially difficult for older adults. The doctor’s instructions must be followed in the first days and weeks after surgery or you could experience pain or complications.
It is important for those who have returned from surgery to follow instructions from the doctor, take medications at the right time, and take it easy so they don’t experience a setback that will put them back in the hospital.
It may take a while to fully recover after a surgery and having a professional caregiver nearby can help the process. A caregiver will help ensure that your loved ones follow their doctor’s instructions and get enough rest to make a full recovery.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides after-surgery care services to help those in Mount Prospect, IL who have recently returned home from surgery. Our caregivers can help monitor the condition and progress of your loved one, providing you and your family with peace of mind while your loved ones recover.
In some instances, a family member can provide assistance when a loved one returns from surgery, but this is nearly impossible when relatives live far away. Our trained and licensed caregivers can step in and provide care if your loved ones need assistance after surgery. A member of our staff will meet with the discharge manager at the hospital, with your permission, to understand the discharge instructions and make sure our caregiver is informed of these instructions.
Our caregiver will ensure that these instructions are followed and communicate openly with family members to provide updates on their progress.
If you or a loved one has recently returned from surgery, do not risk a setback by trying to do too much. Let our caregivers at Assisting Hands Home Care help you make a full recovery with our post-operative care services.
You can reach us at (847) 462-4402 for professional post-operative care in Mount Prospect, IL.
