Post-Operative/After Surgery Home Care in Alpharetta

Post-Operative Care is Key to a Successful Recovery

Any time someone has surgery, there’s usually a period of recovery that includes lots of rest and a routine. This is essential to return to your normal daily activities as soon as possible.

Depending on the surgery, most patients need post-operative care following the surgery. Also, most will need ongoing help until they have recovered and can resume all normal activities without help.

That’s where Home Helpers Home Care of Alpharetta & North Atlanta Suburbs can help. Our in-home caregivers can provide the after-surgery care needed for you or your loved ones.

Call (770) 738-9652 & schedule your free In-Home Care Assessment. Find the right post-operative care in Alpharetta or North Atlanta for your loved one.

After surgery, there are many details to manage. It is important that the patient is comfortable. But also that dressings are clean, they take medication on time, and tending to a patient’s needs.

Depending on the surgery, the doctor will provide the patient with orders. These orders may contain information on when and how the patient will get up and move around in order to maintain the body’s normal functions.

  • Some benefits of post-operative care include:
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Reduced probability of hospital readmission
  • Improved quality of life & increased mobility
  • Decreased stress & quicker healing times
  • Easier transition from surgical unit to home
  • Specialized treatments, such as physical therapy
  • Proactive care managed by home health aides
  • Involvement of family members in the patient's care

To ensure the patient has the easiest possible recovery, a certified home care aide will be there to help. Only the physician can help you decide whether you need extended care around the clock. Caregivers make sure the patient is comfortable, safe, and as pain-free as possible.

Having post-surgery support is key to reducing recovery time and helping the patient return to normal life. It's also the healthiest option available.

What to Expect from Post-Surgery Care

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

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 health worker who can free family up to just be a support system.
