It's helpful to have another set of ears to ensure that the after care or discharge instructions are understood, particularly when the patient is under the influence of pain medication, because compliance with these instructions is critical to recovery and a good outcome. When a surgery, treatment or procedure is required, getting it scheduled and working through the logistics can get involved and complicated. Our caring and compassionate staff want the client to have a pleasant experience, even when the day surgery, treatment or procedure leaves them uncomfortable or out of sorts; the training and skills our caregivers receive through Homewatch CareGivers University prepare them to provide safety as well as genuine companionship. When our day surgery services are needed, we don't need weeks or even days of lead time; we can match a caregiver with the appropriate skill level and personality to the client quickly and can step in when plan A falls apart, which it sometimes does.
Day surgery services include driving to the surgery, treatment or procedure, taking notes to ensure conversations with medical professionals are captured, companionship and comfort, transportation home, picking up prescriptions and medications, meal preparation, and even personal care services like assistance with bathing or dressing. Our Knoxville day surgery services are fully customizable and completely flexible to make our clients comfortable and provide peace of mind to loved ones who worry from afar. Our caregivers and staff in Knoxville are always discreet and follow HIPAA guidelines to ensure privacy, but equally important, they are focused on the safety and well-being of the patient. Light housekeeping, grocery shopping and meal preparation for upcoming days are often helpful day surgery services that help the client feel that daily activities are not piling up, and allow for a restful, stress-free atmosphere that aids the healing process.
