At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide after surgery care services to ease the hospital to home transition for seniors and adults who have recently had surgery in Lisle, IL and the surrounding areas. Our caregivers can help monitor your loved one’s condition and keep them comfortable so they can make a full recovery.
Enduring a surgical procedure and hospital stay is tough on anyone, but it can be especially difficult for senior citizens. When a senior is discharged from the hospital after having surgery, they will need to take their medication and attend rehab according to their doctor’s orders for a strong recovery.
They will also need to be careful around the house because trying to do too much can cause a setback. Some families may be able to take care of their relatives upon their return home, but it helps to have professional assistance to ensure they receive proper care.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides post-surgical care in Lisle, Naperville, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, IL and the surrounding areas of DuPage County (See our Full List of Service Areas) to help seniors rest and recover after returning home from a surgery.
