If you or a loved one is preparing for a surgical procedure, it’s important to consider the type and level of support you’ll need after being discharged from the hospital. Post-surgery care can make a significant difference in how smoothly the recovery goes.
At Open Arms Home Care, we provide after-surgery home care in Philadelphia, improving the healing process and positively impacting each patient’s life.
WHO NEEDS POST-SURGERY CARE?
Once you’ve been discharged from the hospital, the care most often doesn’t end there. Depending on the type of surgery you’ve had, you may need support to ensure you follow your doctor’s discharge instructions. From providing medication reminders to driving you to follow-up appointments, our caregivers will be there to support you in following all directions.
Our caregivers can also assist with personal care like moving from the bed to a chair or navigating difficult areas of the home if you are dealing with decreased mobility. Some patients may ask that a caregiver handle housekeeping like meal preparation, dishes and pet care so they can focus on resting and recovering. Caregivers can perform tasks outside the home as well, such as grocery shopping and prescription pickup.
As virtually any surgery involves a rest component in its recovery, any patient in the Philadelphia area can benefit from our post-op home care. Having a caregiver on hand is ideal for patients recuperating from eye surgery, cancer treatment, pneumonia, joint replacement and other conditions resulting in intense fatigue or decreased mobility.
Personal Care and Assistance
Personal care services include bathing, assistance in the bathroom and personal hygiene. Other self-care activities are included. If mobility becomes limited, we can help turn a house into an accessible and comfortable dwelling through installations such as shower grab bars or ramps.
Companionship and Recreation
The best elder care services will offer activities like reading, puzzles, card games and conversation, all of which Open Arms provides. We can also help you with mentally stimulating tasks that engage the mind and make each day a bit brighter.
Light Housekeeping and Domestic Duties
Our aging adult care services can manage your laundry, housekeeping, plant watering and pet care.
Meal Preparation and Diet Planning
Caregivers can organize and cook meals. We are ready to assist with dietary restriction plans and accommodations to ensure you or your loved one maintains healthy eating habits.
Transportation and Errands
People in the autumn of their lives usually experience difficulties with transportation, with driving being a key issue. We have access to various means of transportation to help individuals get where they need to go. We can take older adults to visit family or attend appointments.
Medication Reminders
Open Arms home care workers will organize pill boxes, administer medication reminders and maintain daily medication logs.
