After a serious surgery, you may need a care attendant for 24 hours or longer, especially during the window when fall risk and post-op complications are highest. A steady presence at home can mean the difference between a smooth recovery or a trip back to emergency.
What a skilled caregiver provides
Our caregivers stay with you through the critical recovery hours, keeping an eye on your safety and helping with the everyday things you can't manage yet. That means personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, and the kind of reassurance that matters when you're sore, tired, and a bit foggy from anesthesia.
Nursing support for wounds and recovery
If you want a clinical set of eyes on the incision or wound, a post-op assessment by a home nurse gives you peace of mind and a professional read on how healing is tracking. For ongoing dressing changes and more complex wounds, we also provide home nursing for wound care.
