Post Surgery and Illness Recovery Care in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Venice, Mar Vista, CA and Surrounding Areas
At Home Helpers of Santa Monica, we provide short-term surgery and illness recovery care for adults of any age. You don’t have to be a senior, and you don’t have to sign up for anything long-term. Whether you’re coming home from a knee replacement, a hospital stay, a rehab facility, or a bad bout of illness, we help you get home safely and get back on your feet. When you’re better, we step away. It’s that simple. We proudly serve Santa Monica, the Westside, South Bay, Beverly Hills, and the surrounding communities.
Have a surgery date or a loved one coming home from the hospital? Call (310) 504-7533 or schedule a conversation to set up recovery care.
Recovery Care for Any Age, Only for as Long as You Need It
Recovery doesn’t wait until you’re 80. A healthy 45-year-old after shoulder surgery can’t lift a pan, shower safely, or drive to the pharmacy. A busy parent fighting pneumonia still has a household to run. Family members may live far away or can’t take time off work. Our post surgery home care fills that gap for a few days, a few weeks, or however long healing takes. There is no long-term contract and no obligation. Once you’re back to yourself, we’re done.
From a Safe Ride Home to 24-Hour Care
Many surgery centers won’t release you after anesthesia unless a responsible adult is there to take you home. We can be that person. Recovery care can be as simple as picking you up after an outpatient procedure and making sure you’re settled in, or as complete as round-the-clock care through the first critical days. You choose the level of support:
- A safe escort home after outpatient surgery or a procedure
- A few hours a day to help with meals, bathing, and errands
- Overnight care so someone is there if you need to get up
- Up to 24-hour care while you recover
Coming Home From the Hospital or Rehab
The first days after a hospital stay or a stay in a rehab or skilled nursing facility are when people are most likely to fall or end up back in the hospital. Discharge instructions are long, prescriptions change, and getting around the house is suddenly harder. Our caregivers can be there on discharge day to get you home, help follow the plan your care team sent you home with, and make sure the house is set up safely. We’re happy to coordinate with your discharge planner or case manager before you leave.
At Home, We Handle the Everyday So You Can Heal
Our caregivers provide attentive, dignified support that lets your body focus on getting better:
- Safe transfers and steady support getting in and out of bed, the shower, and the car
- Help with bathing, dressing, and personal care
- Medication reminders so doses stay on schedule
- Light meal preparation that follows your discharge instructions
- Light housekeeping, laundry, and keeping pathways clear to prevent falls
- Rides to follow-up appointments, physical therapy, and the pharmacy
- Keeping an eye out for changes and letting family know how you’re doing
We provide non-medical care. We work alongside your doctor, surgeon, and any home health or physical therapy team, handling the daily support they don’t provide.

Your Questions, Answered
Do I have to be a senior to use your recovery care?
No. We care for adults of any age recovering from surgery, injury, or illness. If you need help at home while you heal, we can help.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. Recovery care is short-term by design. We’re there for as long as you need us, and when you’ve recovered, care simply ends.
Can you take me home after outpatient surgery?
Yes. Many surgery centers require a responsible adult to escort you home after anesthesia. Our caregiver can pick you up, get you home safely, and help you get settled. We can stay for a few hours or longer if needed.
Can you help when someone is discharged from the hospital or rehab?
Yes. We can be there on discharge day, get your loved one home safely, and provide support through the first days and weeks. We’re glad to coordinate with the discharge planner or case manager ahead of time.
Is this the same as transitional care?
Yes. Hospitals and rehab facilities often call this transitional care. It’s the same support: helping someone get home safely and recover after a hospital stay, surgery, or illness.
How soon can care start?
Often right away. For planned surgeries, reach out as soon as you have a date so we can match you with the right caregiver ahead of time. For hospital discharges, call us and we’ll move quickly.
Do you provide medical care like wound care or injections?
We provide non-medical care, including personal care, mobility support, meals, medication reminders, and transportation. For skilled nursing needs, we work alongside your home health agency or medical team.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Venice, Mar Vista, Marina del Rey, the South Bay, Beverly Hills, and surrounding communities. Call us to confirm coverage.
