Recovering from an operation while getting things done around the home can be difficult, especially for adults with disabilities and seniors. But it’s important to focus on a full recovery to avoid any setbacks or further complications.
While family caregivers are a blessing, they may not have the time to provide the level of care that is needed so you can focus on making a full recovery. During your recovery, it’s important to refrain from excessive activities like running errands, exercising, or cleaning.

Assisting Hands Home Care provides after surgery care services in Illinois, Chicago suburbs and Wisconsin to help recovering patients with activities of daily living (ADLs). Our home care agency is licensed to meet federal requirements and provide care services according to the highest standards.
