Post-Surgery Care Support At Home

To ensure a quicker and fuller recovery post-surgery, there are some things that we should avoid doing, including:

• Getting physically active or going back to work too soon
• Staying in bed after you are cleared to move around
• Not taking your medication as prescribed
• Not having a healthy diet
• Skipping rehabilitation therapy

Having sufficient rest after surgery can speed up your healing, but did you know that too much rest can also hinder recovery?

Here are some tips on how you can heal faster post-surgery:

• Follow your doctor’s advice
• Have a healthy diet rich in protein, vitamin C and fibre
• Don’t skip follow-up appointments
• Seek professional care support
• Get moving (carefully) as soon as your doctor clears you to move around

Our team of trained caregivers, qualified nurses, certified therapists and licensed doctors can help ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home and that you and/or your loved one receive holistic care in the comfort of home.
