Postoperative Care

Returning home after surgery, injury, or an acute illness can be both a relief and a challenge. The road to recovery often requires specialised care to ensure optimal healing and rehabilitation. Postoperative care at home bridges the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery, offering professional support to help you regain independence in a familiar and comforting environment.

At Prestige Nursing & Care, we have 80 years of experience delivering expert postoperative care. Families trust us to provide compassionate, high-quality support tailored to individual recovery needs. Our services are designed to improve health and well-being, giving you or your loved one the confidence to recover in the place you love most— your home.

What is postoperative care?

Postoperative care is support provided after an acute illness, injury or hospital stay. The postoperative care required is unique to each individual and is based on the type of surgery, injury or illness, the person’s overall health and any specific requirements such as wound care or pain management.

Postoperative care begins immediately after surgery. For serious procedures and lengthy hospital stays, postoperative care begins inpatient and continues after the patient is back home.

For outpatient or day surgery, postoperative care can be carried out directly at home.
In either situation, our home care post surgery services are available to help you recover as quickly as possible in the safety and comfort of your own home. After you are discharged, we will meet with you and your family to create a highly-personalised care plan designed to meet your recovery needs whilst following any hospital recommendations.

The duration of your postoperative care at home will be tailored to your recovery needs and recommendations from your medical team. Our care is highly flexible and can be adapted to meet your changing needs with minimal disruption to your life.

The benefits of choosing postoperative care at home

Recovering at home after surgery or illness offers a range of benefits that promote both physical healing and emotional well-being. With Prestige Nursing & Care, you’ll experience the unique advantages of personalised, at home postoperative care:

  • Comfort of home: Healing in a familiar and stress-free environment can speed up recovery by reducing anxiety and promoting rest.
  • One-to-one support: Our tailored care ensures that all your needs are met, from pain management to daily activities, with undivided attention.
  • Enhanced independence: Unlike a hospital or rehabilitation facility, home care allows you to maintain your routines and enjoy more freedom.
  • Family involvement: Being at home makes it easier for family members to be part of your recovery journey, offering additional emotional support.
  • Flexible and adaptable care: Our services are designed to adjust as your recovery progresses, ensuring you always have the right level of support.
  • Reduced risk of complications: With expert monitoring and hygiene practices, we help minimise the risk of infection and other postoperative complications.

With Prestige Nursing & Care by your side, you can focus on healing while we manage the details of your care, ensuring you have a smoother and more comfortable recovery.

Competent and Compassionate Postoperative Carers

When you choose Prestige Nursing & Care, the carer who cares for you or your loved one will be experienced and expertly trained to provide the support you need, to the high standards you should expect.

We adopt a bespoke approach to training that ensures our carers have the knowledge, skills and aptitude to deliver high-quality postoperative care that meets the particular needs of our clients. Through our unrivalled supervision and clinical oversight, carers can adapt their approach and evolve their care to meet changing needs.

In addition to completing our induction training programme, all our carers are trained by our registered nurses, clinical experts and other healthcare professionals. This hands-on nurse training means our carers can competently undertake a range of clinical interventions that may be necessary post operatively.

We are very proud of our carers – each and every one of them is dedicated to providing compassionate, sensitive and dignified postoperative care at home to ensure a successful and sustainable recovery is achieved.

Costs of Postoperative Care at Home

The cost of postoperative home care is dependent on the level of care and support you require. The overall cost of our care is determined by the number and frequency of visits to you at home. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your needs to truly understand what care and support you require. After this assessment, we will provide a comprehensive care plan including the exact cost of our service.
