After Surgery Care

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.

Post-Operative Care at Home

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.

Our post-operative care services include monitoring symptoms, medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and much more. When meeting with our staff, you can include as many or as few services as you need, allowing you to customize your plan according to your needs. This way you will only pay for what you need. Our caregivers will also meet with the discharging doctor, nurse, or hospital coordinator to receive all instructions to be fully prepared to provide effective care.
