Choosing home health for post-surgical care means choosing a personalized care plan administered by nurses and therapists in the comfort of your home. Home health care provides benefits for patients before and after surgery, especially those with limited access to family caregiving support, or transportation, or those who struggle with chronic medical conditions.
Pre-Surgery, a home health team member evaluates the patient’s home to identify obstacles that may hinder the patient once they begin the at-home recovery process. They then provide solutions and the necessary equipment to assist the patient with the daily activities of living while they recover.
Post-Surgery, home health nurses closely monitor the healing process, oversee wound care, and provide hands-on instruction for care givers. Team medical technicians assist patients with their personal hygiene needs. Team physical and occupational therapists work with patients to set recovery goals and create a rehabilitation plan to achieve them. They evaluate and adjust the regimen as goals are met.
