Patients discharged from hospitals after surgery and recovery are not always ready to take care of themselves properly. Critical to a successful recovery, the first 24 hours of a postoperative patient’s release from a hospital often requires special attention to sutures, surgical sites and bandages. Depending on the type of surgery, the person may not be able to walk without assistance or even sit up in bed. Receiving the highest-quality home care after any kind of surgery is vital to you or a loved one’s long-term health and well-being.
All Hands Home Care provides dependable postsurgery home care and will have a caring, committed home assistance aide waiting to provide care immediately after release from the hospital.
Postsurgery Home Care and Medications
Postsurgery patients must take multiple medications to prevent infection and control other health issues due to having surgery. When you are not feeling well or simply don’t want to move because it hurts, you may not take your medications as prescribed. Unfortunately, missing just one dose of prescribed medication or taking certain medications without food may cause serious or uncomfortable symptoms that require emergency-room care.
