As your loved one ages, it is likely that they will need to undergo some form of surgery. Orthopedic procedures, such as knee, hip or shoulder replacements, are common within the senior community. However, these types of operations often result in a long physical recovery period.

Luckily, in-home care services from Visiting Angels Dallas can help your loved one maintain independence, reduce the likelihood of re-admission and make a full recovery in the comfort of home. Our caregivers have been helping seniors throughout Dallas, TX make safe recoveries at home for many years by assisting with everyday tasks, keeping them company, ensuring they follow their recovery plan and so much more.

The Importance of Professional Home Care Services During the Discharge Process for Dallas-Area Seniors

It’s common for seniors in the Dallas area to return directly home following an orthopedic surgery. One particular study from the Rothman Institute at the Thomas Jefferson University Medical School in Philadelphia finds that around 90 percent of patients are discharged directly home. And while your loved one may get the comfort they are seeking by recovering at home, chances are they are going to require additional in-home care services to fully recover.

This is why Visiting Angels Dallas offers personalized, one-on-one recovery care at home for elderly and disabled adults. As an agency that strictly provides essential personal home care services, we cannot administer medication or perform other medical services but we are able to assist with the physical needs of seniors following surgery.
