Recovery Care at Home for Seniors in and Around Frederick, MD

When a senior family member has just had surgery, they may need more care after they return home. Depending on the nature of the operation, their doctor may have advised resting as much as possible throughout the recovery period. Because of this, they will most likely need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as cleaning, bathing, making meals, and errand running. If they don't get the support and assistance they need, they risk hurting themselves, slowing their recovery, or perhaps having to be readmitted to the hospital.

Benefits of Post-Operative Recovery Care at Home for Frederick-Area Seniors

According to research conducted by the Rothman Institute, around 90 percent of patients immediately return home after being released from the hospital following a surgical procedure. Once they've returned home, your loved one will probably require home care until they're back on their feet.

Seniors who have just had surgery often benefit from having the option of receiving professional post-operative care at home. Seniors who are recovering from surgery can reduce their risk of complications and re-hospitalization by hiring a caregiver to help with daily duties that might be too physically demanding for them. A caregiver can also act as an extra set of eyes and ears, reporting any changes in the client's behavior or health to their family and healthcare team.
