Post-operative care involves professional support and medical care after surgery by helping patients transition safely from the hospital to home. Unlike at-home rehab—which focuses on long-term recovery through physical, occupational, or speech therapy—post-operative care is more immediate and focused on managing the critical days or weeks following a major surgery. This care is tailored to the unique needs of each patient, whether they require wound care, medication management, mobility assistance, or help with daily activities as they regain their strength.
Post-Operative Care
Always Compassionate Health offers skilled post-operative care in the comfort of home that patients need as they regain their independence. Post-operative care gives you or your loved one the comfort of being cared for at home. This option can be preferable and less stressful for recovery than that of an in-patient stay at a facility. Your provider may suggest the need for skilled therapy after surgery, injury, hospital stay, or if you or your loved one are recovering from an illness. The goal of post-op home care is to help regain independence and health by offering support in daily activities, physical and occupational therapy, skilled nursing, medication management, and any other needs during the recovery process.
