Various types of after-hospital care include:

Following rehab or hospital discharge, ongoing support at home plays a crucial role in reinforcing treatment and helping individuals resume the activities they cherish. Our competent caregiving teams are extensively trained to facilitate a seamless transition from the hospital or skilled rehab center to home, offering unwavering support throughout the entire journey.

Examples of elderly care after hospital discharge include:

Joint Replacement

The recovery process after joint replacement surgery can make everyday tasks challenging for several weeks, possibly even months. Elderly joint replacement patients require specialized post-hospital care that involves intensive rehabilitation services, such as prescribed physical therapy exercises aimed at enhancing strength and range of motion. This rehabilitation regimen continues even after they return home from a skilled rehab facility.

Our dedicated caregivers are here to assist during this crucial phase. They provide essential support, including medication reminders, encouragement to adhere to prescribed physical therapy routines, and meal preparation that promotes healthy nutrition and hydration, supporting the ongoing healing process at home.

Heart Surgery or Cardiac Events

You or your loved one deserves dependable after-hospital care services during the recovery period after a significant procedure. The outpatient cardiac rehab program may extend for several weeks and involves exercise monitoring and education on cardiovascular risk factors. Once you are back in the comfort of your home, following this program diligently becomes crucial to restore your enjoyment of life.

This entails attending follow-up healthcare provider appointments and adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle, which may require significant changes to diet and exercise habits. Fortunately, our skilled caregivers are here to provide the necessary support. You don’t have to face these changes alone. We can assist with medication reminders, meal planning and preparation, and running errands, especially since driving is generally restricted post-surgery. With our help, you can navigate this phase with confidence and ease.

Eye Surgery

After undergoing eye surgery, your vision may not be reliable or fully functional for a while. During this recovery period, our dedicated care team is here to provide assistance with various day-to-day tasks that you or your loved one may find challenging to perform. This includes driving, as well as handling activities that require bending or lifting, which can exert strain or pressure on the eyes. Rest assured, we aim to make your recovery as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Pneumonia Prevention

Although not very common, pneumonia can still occur after surgery, often attributed to anesthesia and limited mobility. To mitigate this risk, patients are typically advised to engage in deep breathing and coughing exercises post-surgery. These exercises help expand the lungs, reducing the likelihood of pneumonia. Our skilled after-hospital caregivers play a vital role in pneumonia prevention after major procedures. They ensure a clean environment, encourage good nutrition, and promote proper hydration for overall better health. By providing attentive care and support, our caregivers contribute to a smoother recovery process and help minimize the chances of post-surgery complications such as pneumonia.
