Don't Just Recover. Bounce Back.
The first 72 hours at home are critical. Our specialized post-op care reduces infection risk, manages pain, and prevents hospital readmission — so you can focus on healing.
What Is Post-Surgery Home Care?
Post-surgery home care is professional, in-home support designed to help you recover safely after a surgical procedure. Instead of staying in a rehabilitation facility, you heal in the comfort of your own home with one-on-one attention from a trained caregiver.
Our caregivers handle wound care, medication management, mobility assistance, meal preparation, transportation to follow-ups, and everything in between. We work alongside your surgical team to follow discharge instructions precisely.
Studies show that patients recovering at home have lower infection rates and faster recovery times compared to institutional settings. We serve patients across Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Darien, and all of Fairfield County. Need ongoing care after recovery? See our elder care and disability care services.
