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.

Acti-Kare was first recommended to me by a friend who used this service for her mother and was well pleased with the care given. I engaged services with the owner Mr. Jewell in May, 2014 to care for my husband because I could no longer do so by myself. I found his caregivers competent, caring and respectful not only of my husband, but also of our family.
While they were attending to my husband, the caregivers kept a low profile so as not to intrude into or upset family life. Toward my husband’s end of life, a couple of the caregivers arranged to exchange shifts with other staff members so that my husband could have continuity of care and the least number of different people coming and going. Mr. Jewell also arranged 12 hour shifts to minimize disruption to family routine and he was present at the end to comfort us.
After my husband passed, I had surgery which left me unable to drive my car, so I use the services of Acti-Kare caregivers to drive me to appointments. I plan to continue to use this company as long as needed with the assurance that Mr. Jewell’s staff of well trained, competent caregivers will uphold the high quality of service he has instituted
