FAQ's
For some people, the outcome of their surgery may mean they need to have temporary care arranged. Post-operative care at home is care given after you have had a surgical procedure to ensure proper recovery, with assistance from a skilled Registered Nurse. It begins when an operation is completed and continues after you are discharged from the hospital and returned home.
The type of post-operative care you will receive will depend on the surgery you have had. Post-operative care can include personal care tailored to the patient’s needs, assistance with mobility, wound care, physical therapy, pain management, medication assistance, housekeeping, transport to and from appointments and meal preparation.
It is important to ensure you are well prepared prior to entering the hospital to ensure you can continue with your rehabilitation when you are discharged. Safety at home after surgery is paramount. It may be necessary to make temporary or longer-term changes to your home if your surgery will make a difference to your mobility.
Areas of consideration are specialist equipment including handrails, stairlifts and a hoist. It is also important to make sure any medications you are taking are ordered from the pharmacy.
When recovering from surgery it is important to make sure you are doing everything you can to ensure a quick recovery. If you have a dressing on the area operated on, follow the instructions your surgeon gave you to care for your wound at home.
Try to move around as soon as possible and follow your doctor’s advice on getting active again. This will encourage your blood to flow and your wounds to heal.
Make sure you are staying hydrated and eating a healthy diet and ensure you are getting plenty of rest.
