After Surgery, Transitional Care is Key to a Successful Recovery in Sterling, Mc Lean, and Arlington, VA

When someone undergoes surgery of any kind, there’s usually a recovery period. This includes lots of rest and a routine to help you return to your normal daily activities sooner.

Depending on the extent of the surgery, most patients need help following the surgery. They will also need ongoing help until they have recovered and can resume normal activities without help. That’s where Home Helpers can be of help.

After surgery, there are many details to manage. The patient must be comfortable. That surgical dressings are clean. That they take medication at the right time. And we address the immediate needs of the patient. Depending on the surgery, the doctor will provide the patient with orders to follow. These orders may contain directions on when or how the patient can move around. To maintain the body’s normal functions.

To help the patient have the easiest recovery, we’ll assign a certified home caregiver. Only the physician can help you decide whether you need extended transitional care around the clock. One of the benefits of a home caregiver is ensuring the patient is comfortable, safe, and pain-free. Having post-surgery support is key to reducing recovery time. And help the patient return to normal life soon. Post-surgery support is the best way to ensure that your recovery time is quick and healthy.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM POST-SURGERY TRANSITIONAL CARE

When you come home from the hospital, you might experience some fatigue and tiredness. You may also notice that you might be feeling pain and very fatigued. This is very common and should not alarm you. It’s your body’s way of kicking into its God-given healing mode, which helps you to rest and saves all your energy for healing and recovery. It’s very important that when you come home from the hospital, your family is aware of the extra help you need.

If you come from a big family, you already know that well-meaning relatives want to help, but busy schedules often make that difficult. Most loved ones would rather spend their time hanging out with you rather than overseeing your medical needs. This is the perfect time to bring in a qualified home care worker who can free the family up as a support system.

These are just a few examples of how our highly skilled and knowledgeable caregivers can spend time with you and your family following your surgery. They are available to assist with your daily needs and get you on the fast track to a healthy and speedy recovery.
