Recovering from surgery does not have to mean staying in the hospital longer than necessary. With expert support, patients can heal faster and more comfortably in the familiar surroundings of home. At CarePlus Home Health, we provide personalized, physician-directed care that empowers your loved one to recover safely, confidently, and with greater peace of mind.
Here is what patients and families should know about choosing home health for post-surgical recovery:
Skilled Care Makes All the Difference
Our CarePlus team provides a full spectrum of skilled services following surgery, including:
- Wound and incision care
- Pain and medication management
- IV therapy and catheter care
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
All services are delivered under a physician’s guidance to help prevent complications, reduce rehospitalizations, and promote a faster, more effective recovery.
Home Preparation is Key
Before discharge, it is essential to prepare the home to reduce fall risks and support mobility. According to MedlinePlus, this may include moving essential items to one floor, removing rugs or trip hazards, adding grab bars or a shower seat, and stocking up on medications and easy-to-prepare meals.
Taking time to create a recovery-friendly space not only helps prevent accidents but also supports greater independence and peace of mind throughout the healing process. Our team can help guide you through this process by offering expert recommendations, home safety tips, and coordination with your discharge team to ensure everything is in place before your loved one returns home.
