Post Surgery Care at Home
Undergoing surgery of any kind requires a recovery period that includes rest and a routine that helps the patient return to normal activity as soon as possible. Most patients need help in the days following surgery, and at least some ongoing assistance until they are fully recovered to resume their normal daily routines.
There are many post-surgery details to handle, like making sure that the patient is comfortable, that surgical dressings are fresh and medications taken, and that the patient’s immediate needs are taken care of. Depending on doctor’s orders and the type of surgery, the patient may be encouraged to get up and move around on schedule so the body’s normal functions are maintained.
Surgical recovery times can differ widely, from a few days to months. Regular day-to-day support after surgery is a key element in reducing recovery time. Providing strong post-surgery support is one of the best ways to assure a faster and better recovery.
Home Help after a Surgery Operation
If you’ve just had a surgical operation, after your surgery you’ll feel tired. You may experience pain and feel fatigued. This is your body trying to heal itself and asking you to rest, so it can put energy into recovery. When you come home from the hospital, it’s important that you and your family realize that you will need extra help for a period of time.
If you’re part of a busy family, a senior or a person living alone, it can be hard for family members or friends to find the time to give you the care you need to make a full and healthy recovery. What time they do have, they may want to spend with you, not distracted with running errands or doing chores. A trained, experienced home caregiver can fill this gap and help you and your family cope by providing extra support following your surgery.

The client is in an assisted living facility: I feel like Acti-Kare is another set of eyes…. They let me know if they see anything that needs attention. The extra care assures me while I’m out of town.

We needed short time assistance for my father or he could not come home from hospital. My mother felt very happy and comfortable with the care. I would recommend this service anytime. Prompt, caring, and professional.

I referred Veronica to some friends of mine who needed help after surgery. She personally came right out to the home and within 24hrs had it set up. They said it was a great experience and would recommend her and use her again.

Veronica and her team of Care Givers were wonderful to my Father and Sister during the time we used Acti-Kare. They were so caring and conscientious. We had 3 different Care Givers for 24/7 care and they all were respectful, loving and knew how to take care of others. Unfortunately, we lost both our loved ones due to complications of cancer and the Care Givers were their to help with end of life. I can’t thank these wonderful people enough for the sincere and heartfelt attention in which they treated my family. Would recommend this business to anyone that needs this type of service.

My father is under 24/7 care by this agency. They cook, do his laundry, get the mail, assist with bathing, etc. They will do anything basically Dad needs. The staff are like members of the family. They really care about the service they provide and making sure the clients are well taken care of. They arrive on time and keep each other well informed when they change shifts. When I go to visit my dad, I am always greeted by the caregivers and we catch up on life together, like old friends. There are even hugs when we haven’t seen each other for a while! Any time we have had a concern, or a family member needs to speak to the head of the agency, she is totally responsive, will make sure she speaks to myself or my sisters since my dad doesn’t hear very well, and ensure she has the right information. She also takes swift action when needed, and will correct any issues we may have. We switched to this agency from another in home agency and the satisfaction has been great, and it was well worth the change. You really can’t go wrong hiring this agency for the complete and compassionate care they give their clients. Our family is very picky about the care our parents have received and we could not be happier with Acti-Kare!

My caregiver gives me showers, helps me dress, transfer to wheelchair, helps with bathroom functions, wash, dry fold and puts away laundry, dishes, vacuums rugs, sweeps and mops floors. Always arrives before or on time. If not able to, lets me know. Friendliness and attentive to my needs is a great help. The agency itself has been a great help staying aware of my care with phone calls and visits to me.

Acti-Kare takes care of my elderly parents in their home. Veronica is extremely attentive, and always answers my calls when I have any concerns or changes to our care plan. The Caregivers they have sent us have all been outstanding–conscientious, friendly, reliable, and extremely helpful.

The caregivers from Acti-Kare have been kind, caring, reliable, thoughtful, and careful. They filled the gap in my my brother’s care while we waited to move him from independent living to an adult family home. Some of the caregivers went well above and beyond their role, even bringing my brother home-baked treats! The Acti-Kare management was very responsive to our requests, and also went above and beyond (provided transport to dentist when we had no other available). Thank you so much!

The caregiver is cooperative and will listen to the things I suggest. The owners came in to do a review and suggested a few things on handling the client. It showed they were interested.

They have had different caregivers but one of them has been the best. They really clicked and my mother was encouraged by her presence. Any service and help to mom helps my dad as well. The caregiver for my mom is just wonderful and has been a true blessing. The whole team answers questions I am wanting to clarify.
– Denise K.
Easily contacted the ActiKare staff and set up an initial meeting to discuss what care I thought my wife needed. I found ActiKare to be flexible and easy to work with. When I actually needed the care they provided me the service I needed in a very short period of time. Our companion care person is a great match for my wife. Everyone at ActiKare has been extremely courteous, helpful and caring.
– Philip K.
We would like to recommend -Acti Kare for in-home care. We have had a great experience with them caring for my dad on a limited basis. Ben was very friendly and kind and very helpful to my dad. Ben was on time each day and my Dad enjoyed his company.We would use them again

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and fibromyalgia. As the conditions progressed, although somewhat reluctant, I knew we needed additional support. Veronica and her team made the process so easy. They provide unparalleled care; always going above and beyond to provide a safe environment for my wife to thrive. They truly care about the well-being and happiness of their clients. I couldn’t recommend their services any higher.

Veronica, owner of ActiKare, performed a weekly task for my 94 year mother, requiring her to pick up, drop off, & then take her back to her home. Nearly all the time Veronica waited for her providing an additional service of friend & companion. But what made her work so special is the creativity she always brought to effectively dealing w/ a woman deep into dementia. The solutions she came up w/ were always top notch, solving issues of logistics, attitudes, & the support of a first-rate caregiver. Since her task ended, a few weeks ago, Veronica has followed up w/ me weekly to see how mother is doing. I simply can do nothing but praise her in all regards!
