What is Post Operative Live-in Care?
Post operative live-in care is a specialised service aimed at supporting individuals recovering from surgery. Whether it’s a major operation or a minor procedure, the recovery period can be critical to achieving the best possible outcome. Our live-in care service focuses on providing comprehensive support that addresses the physical, emotional, and practical aspects of post-surgery recovery.
Our experienced carers offer compassionate and expert support, helping your loved one with daily tasks, managing recovery, and ensuring they are comfortable and well-supported throughout their healing process.

What does Post Operative Live-in Care cover?
Our post operative live-in care service is designed to cover all aspects of recovery, ensuring that your loved one receives the support they need at home. Our care plans are highly personalised to the specific needs of each individual and adapt as their recovery progresses. Our services typically include:
Personal care: Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting to ensure comfort and maintain dignity during the recovery period.
Medication support: Timely administration of medications, monitoring for any side effects, and coordination with healthcare professionals to ensure adherence to post-operative instructions.
Mobility assistance: Help with moving around the home, including getting in and out of bed, and using mobility aids to prevent falls and support physical recovery.
Wound care: Expert management of surgical wounds, including dressing changes and monitoring for signs of infection or complications.
Meal preparation: Planning and cooking meals that cater to any dietary restrictions or recommendations from healthcare providers, ensuring proper nutrition during recovery.
Companionship: Providing emotional support and companionship to help your loved one manage the psychological aspects of recovery and maintain a positive outlook.
Exercise and rehabilitation: Encouraging and assisting with prescribed exercises and physical therapy to promote healing and restore strength and mobility.
Household tasks: Taking care of household chores such as cleaning and laundry, allowing your loved one to focus on their recovery in a comfortable and safe environment.
Benefits of Post Operative Live-in Care
Choosing the right care option for your loved one after surgery is essential. While convalescent home care is available, live-in care offers several distinct advantages that can significantly enhance the recovery process and provide peace of mind for your family:
Familiar environment: Recovering at home provides comfort and familiarity, which can reduce anxiety and speed up recovery compared to recovering in a care home, or convalescent facility.
Personalised one-to-one support: Unlike in a care home where care is shared among many residents, live-in care provides dedicated attention tailored specifically to your loved one’s needs.
Continuity of care: Maintaining a consistent routine and environment is crucial for recovery. Live-in care ensures that routines are preserved and adjustments are made gradually.
Family involvement: Live-in care allows family members to remain closely involved in their loved one’s recovery, ensuring that the care plan aligns with family preferences and values.
Enhanced quality of life: With live-in care, your loved one can recover in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by all that is familiar, while receiving the expert care they need.
For couples: Couples live-in care enables life partners to remain together, receiving care in familiar environment. With residential care, couples are often split up, with few providers offering shared accommodation.
