Joint Replacement
Recovering from joint replacement surgery can make simple tasks intense for several weeks, potentially even months. Your in-home caregivers and expert team help with medication reminders, and other recommended methods that can assist the client being able to manage their pain, encourage your completion of any prescribed physical therapy regimes, and keep your health strong with proper nutrition and hydration after you are discharged from the hospital.
Heart Surgery
It’s invaluable to have reliable home care services you can trust during the recovery period of invasive procedures like major heart surgery, which generally last six to eight weeks. We can help with pain management, bathing, dressing, and running your errands, since driving is prohibited post-surgery.
Eye Surgery
Following eye surgery, your vision may not be reliable or functional for a period of time. Our care team can provide assistance with day-to-day tasks that you may not be able to do during your recovery time, including driving, and keep you from bending or lifting, which can put strain or pressure on your eye.
