Comprehensive Post-Operative Care in Pittsburgh, PA

Schedule An In-Home Assessment

The time immediately after a hospital stay can be critical to the health and recovery of a loved one. Studies show that the lack of proper support and care following surgery or a serious hospitalization can lead to slower recovery or even readmission to the hospital.

Family members often take on the task of caring for a loved one after a hospital stay but can find they are untrained or ill prepared to meet the physical and emotional challenges of such care. That is why Comfort Keepers® offers home health care services to ease the transition home.

After Surgery Home Care

We can ease your loved one's transition from the hospital or rehabilitation facility to home, which can lead to a safer, more comfortable post-surgery recovery.

The time immediately following release from the hospital (also known as the postoperative period) is a critical phase of the recovery process. Studies show a lack of proper care and support after a surgery can lead to slower recuperation. In fact, there is a substantial risk of readmission due to serious complications, such as infection, blood clots, or reopening an incision. This is why it is important to have a thorough postoperative care plan in place before transitioning home.

Family and friends may be eager to help their loved one recovery after a surgery. However, most lack the proper training to provide the necessary postoperative home care. What’s more, caretaking for family members who recently received surgery is both labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Understanding Postoperative Care Services

Comfort Keepers® caregivers make our clients’ transitions from hospital to home as seamless, safe, and positive as possible. Our caregivers provide the following postoperative care services:

• Support for the care plan to aid in recovery after the surgery
• Assistance with household activities and responsibilities, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, and running errand
• Incidental transportation for postoperative and doctor’s appointments, such as office visits and physical therapy
• Communication with the medical team, as needed

Having one of our caregivers assist with home care responsibilities provides untold peace of mind for both the client and their loved ones. We actively work with our clients and their families to create a postoperative care strategy that fits everyone’s specific needs. We can provide crucial respite care services for family members that still want to be heavily involved. Alternatively, our caregivers can spend significantly more time with the clients to ensure that every need is met. Our extensive years of post-surgery home care experience prepares us to expertly address every question or concern.
