Post-operative care at home

Depending on your circumstances, postoperative care can be carried out mainly at home for some minor procedures that don’t require a hospital stay, which is also known as outpatient surgery or day case. If you are required to stay in hospital for a period of time, after a more serious procedure for instance, the beginnings of your recovery will be as an inpatient and then often continue when you are at home.

In either circumstance, Cavendish Care are well placed to support you, as you will be fully assessed upon discharge and our experienced home nurses and carers will follow hospital recommendations and your personalised support plan to ensure your recovery proceeds as planned.

Dependent on your preferences, we can offer both visiting and live-in post-operative care in our customers’ homes.  Visiting care consists of any amount of time from 60 minutes plus and can occur as many or as few times as you need throughout the day, and overnight too. Visits will be prearranged so that you always know when your carer is coming, and your needs will be fully assessed before your care is put in place. Your carer will then work from your personalised support plan which will detail the level of care you require as well as your routines and preferences.
