San Mateo Day Surgery Services

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. Day surgery services in San Mateo 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 San Mateo 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. When a surgery, treatment or procedure is required, getting it scheduled and working through the logistics can get involved and complicated.

During those critical 24 hours after coming home from a procedure, surgery or treatment, there is tremendous comfort and peace of mind knowing that our trained caregivers are present. 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. 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. Day surgery services don't have to be limited to one day; a caregiver can be there during the night to make sure medications are taken, to check on the client, provide help to the bathroom, ensure proper hydration and nutrition, and can expand to a 24-hour shift if desired.

After Plastic Surgery

Adhering to the surgeon’s recovery plan is critical to the reduction of scarring related to a plastic surgery procedure; an investment in day surgery services will provide the helping hand to prevent over-doing it. Most cosmetic or reconstructive surgeries require a minimum of 2 days of restricted movement and limiting lifting, making this a critical time to have extra support around the house. Many clients prefer to recover in complete privacy, making daily errands and outings all but impossible without help.

After Eye Surgery

Considering the following facts about common eye surgeries, many families lean on Homewatch CareGivers for support after such procedures. The 24-hours after Lasik eye surgery require complete relaxation and lying down with your eyes closed as a recommended recovery mode; retinal surgeries often require you to keep your head in a certain position for up to 5 days; lifting objects as light as 15 pounds can increase your intraocular pressure; glaucoma patients must limit their activities; and driving can be prohibited for a day or up to several weeks after surgery. Our caregivers can assist during this critical time to ensure that your loved one has the best possible outcome.

After Cancer Treatment

Returning home from a day surgery, chemotherapy or radiation related to the treatment of cancer should be as stress free, safe, and comfortable as possible; a compassionate caregiver makes this a top priority. Between managing medications, cancer-related neuropathy, nausea and fatigue, having assistance from a home care company that understands cancer treatment can make the difference between a difficult and smooth recovery.

After Dental Surgery

Sometimes the after-effects of oral surgery are quite minimal however it can complicate matters if health or independence is compromised. Caregivers can assist with planning and preparing modified diets and medication reminders to facilitate optimal healing. Caregiver training prepares them to provide protective oversight and assistance to the client's post-surgery needs.

Flexible Home Care Services

Our home care service plans are completely customizable to the unique needs of each of our clients. Whether you need only a few hours a week or round the clock care, we can develop a home care service solution to keep you safe at home, where you want to be.
