post-operative care
Recovering from surgery is a process that must be handled with care. With the help of our professional nurses and therapists, our goal is to help elderlies return back to normal life as soon as possible.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM POST-OPERATIVE HOME CARE?
On average, 75% of elderlies who use home care or private nursing services have been hospitalised in the past 12 months. While some patients can manage their recovery independently, others may need additional support to ensure a safe and successful recovery.
ELDERLIES WITH CHRONIC ILLNESSES
Patients who have just undergone surgery due to stroke or cancer will often require private nursing care to recover in the comforts of their home. For primary caretakers, caring for someone who is chronically ill can be stressful - we're here to provide the extra support you need during the day, and even overnight, so that both you and your loved one is taken care of.
ELDERLIES WITH REDUCED MOBILITY
Those who are in the midst of recovering from a major surgery, such as hip replacement surgery, will require intensive physical rehabilitation to restore mobility. Although rehabilitation can start immediately in the hospital after surgery, patients should continue to undergo therapy sessions at home in order to facilitate a quicker recovery.
ELDERLIES WHO REQUIRE ONGOING MEDICAL CARE
For elderlies who require ongoing medical attention after being discharged from the hospital, it is essential to seek highly skilled health professionals to prevent infections, manage sudden complications, and handle tasks such as wound cleaning and catheter care.
