Post-Surgery & Recovery Care

The hospital sends them home with instructions. We make sure those instructions actually get followed.

What's included

  • Help getting home and settled on discharge day
  • Safe transfers and walking support to prevent falls while strength returns
  • Medication reminders matched to the discharge schedule
  • Reminders and support for prescribed exercises and wound-care routines
  • Bathing, dressing and toileting help while movement is limited
  • Meals, light housekeeping and rides to follow-up and therapy appointments

Who it's for

  • Someone coming home after a hip or knee replacement, back surgery or another planned procedure
  • A parent recovering from a hospital stay who isn't steady enough to be alone yet
  • Families who can't take weeks off work but don't want their loved one recovering by themselves
  • Anyone who wants to recover at home rather than in a rehab facility, with help scaled down as they heal
What a first visit looks like

Recovery care works best when it's ready before the hospital lets them go. Call us before discharge if you can, and we'll have a plan and a caregiver lined up for the day they come home.

Step 01

A coordinator reviews the discharge instructions, medications and any therapy plan with your family

Step 02

We prepare the home: clear walkways, set up the bathroom and bedroom for safe movement

Step 03

A caregiver is there from day one, focused on safe transfers, rest and following the recovery plan

Step 04

We reduce hours as strength and independence return, so you only pay for the help that's still needed

A sample morning

9:00 AMArrival, check on comfort and pain level, medication reminder
9:20 AMAssisted washing and dressing with safe transfers
10:00 AMBreakfast, then prescribed exercises as the therapist directed
11:00 AMRest, light tidying, laundry and meal prep for later
12:30 PMRide to a follow-up or therapy appointment if scheduled
