A patient’s family members often play a critical role in post-surgery care. When caring for someone who has undergone surgery and you’re unsure about what to do next or how to do it safely, it can be helpful to know your options.
As a leading provider of non-medical home care Florida, here are some tips to keep in mind when providing post-surgery care at home:
- Follow the doctor’s instructions
Follow the doctor’s instructions regarding medication, wound care, and activity restrictions. Ensure that all medication is taken on time, and follow the instructions for wound care to prevent infection.
- Keep the home safe
Remove tripping hazards such as rugs, cords, or clutter to prevent falls. Install grab bars in the bathroom and shower area and ensure the home is well-lit.
- Assist with daily tasks
Your loved one may require assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and cooking. We provide personal care services to assist with these tasks and ensure your loved one’s safety and comfort.
- Monitor for complications
Look for any signs of complications, such as fever, increased pain, or redness around the wound area. Contact the doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
