Postoperative & Recovery Care

Postoperative and recovery care is designed to support individuals in their healing journey after surgery. It focuses on helping patients manage the immediate effects of surgery and promoting a smooth recovery process. At Trustful Hands, our dedicated team provides personalized care that ensures patients are comfortable, well-supported, and able to recover in the safety and privacy of their own home.

Key services included in Postoperative & Recovery care:
Monitoring and Health Assessments
  • Vital sign monitoring: We closely monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and breathing to identify any signs of complications, such as infections or blood clots, and ensure your body is recovering properly.
  • Pain management: We help manage your pain levels using prescribed medication and non-invasive techniques, providing comfort and relief during your recovery. Pain control is essential for both physical and emotional well-being.
Assistance with Daily Activities
  • Personal care: After surgery, daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting may be challenging. Our caregivers provide gentle support, respecting your privacy and dignity, while ensuring you feel safe and comfortable.
  • Mobility assistance: Depending on the surgery, mobility might be limited. Our carers help you with moving around the house, getting in and out of bed, or using assistive devices like crutches or walkers. They also assist with posture and prevent falls.
  • Meal preparation and nutrition: Good nutrition plays a vital role in recovery. Our carers prepare healthy, balanced meals tailored to your dietary needs, ensuring you get the proper nourishment for healing.
Rehabilitation Support
  • Physical therapy assistance: After some surgeries, physical therapy is essential for regaining strength and mobility. We assist you in performing prescribed exercises, ensuring that you follow your therapist’s recommendations and build strength gradually.
  • Exercise monitoring: Our carers help guide you through mild exercises and stretches that promote circulation, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of complications such as blood clots.
  • Encouraging independence: As your recovery progresses, we encourage and assist you in regaining as much independence as possible, empowering you to perform daily tasks on your own while offering support when needed.
Emotional Support
  • Companionship: Recovery from surgery can be physically and emotionally taxing. Our carers provide companionship, engaging in conversations, offering emotional support, and helping you stay positive and motivated throughout your recovery.
  • Mental health support: The emotional strain of surgery and recovery can sometimes lead to anxiety, depression, or feelings of frustration. Our team is compassionate and understanding, offering emotional support and helping you adjust to the changes in your life during recovery.
Medication Management
  • Administering medications: We assist with the timely administration of medications prescribed by your doctor, including pain relievers, antibiotics, or other post-surgery treatments. Our carers help track dosages and timings, ensuring that you follow your doctor's guidelines.
  • Monitoring side effects: We keep an eye on any potential side effects of medications and notify your healthcare team if anything unusual occurs, ensuring prompt medical attention if needed.
Preventing Complications
  • Monitoring for signs of infection or complications: We watch for common post- surgical complications, such as signs of infection, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or respiratory issues, and take immediate action if any problems arise.
  • Promoting mobility and circulation: Encouraging light movement and using specific techniques (e.g., elevating legs, gentle massage) to prevent blood clots, pressure ulcers, and other mobility-related issues.
  • Following doctor’s instructions: Our carers are trained to follow the specific postoperative instructions given by your medical team, ensuring you receive care exactly as needed for optimal healing.
Help with Follow-up Appointments
  • Accompaniment to medical appointments: After surgery, follow-up appointments are essential to ensure that the recovery is progressing well. Our carers can help you attend doctor’s appointments, and provide support during these visits, making sure you’re comfortable and well-prepared.
  • Coordinating care with healthcare professionals: We work alongside your healthcare team, ensuring that your care plan is continually updated based on any changes or recommendations made by your doctor or specialist.
24/7 Care and Peace of Mind
  • Round-the-clock care: Depending on the surgery and recovery needs, we can provide 24/7 care to ensure that you always have someone by your side, ready to offer help, comfort, and reassurance as you recover.
  • Emergency support: Our caregivers are trained to respond promptly to emergencies, whether they’re related to post-surgery complications or any other health issues that may arise during recovery.
