Post-Surgical Recovery

Personal support and companionship at home through the first weeks after a hospital stay.

Coming home after a hospital stay is tiring, and ordinary tasks are suddenly hard. I take on the day-to-day load — washing, dressing, meals, the house — so recovery happens somewhere comfortable, with someone around.

Personal support, not nursing. This is personal support and companionship, not nursing care. I do not change dressings, administer medication or monitor a medical condition. Any clinical care your recovery requires should be arranged through your care team.

What's included

  • Help settling in on the day of discharge
  • Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance
  • Mobility support and help moving safely around the home
  • Meal preparation and encouragement to eat and drink
  • Light housekeeping, laundry and shopping
  • Medication reminders
  • Company through the first weeks at home
  • Accompaniment and transport to follow-up appointments

Who this is for

  • Someone going home to an empty house after a hospital stay
  • A client who needs help with washing, dressing and meals while they recover
  • Families who cannot be there during the first weeks
