Skilled Home Health Care
Post-Surgical Care at Home in South Florida
Post-surgical home care is short-term support that helps a patient recover safely at home after an operation. Focus Family Care provides post-surgical care across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Martin, and St. Lucie counties.
What Post-Surgical Home Care Includes
Wound and Incision Care
Nurses clean and dress the surgical site and watch for signs of infection.
Pain and Medication Management
Nurses manage pain medication and coordinate the discharge medication plan.
Mobility Assistance
Caregivers help the patient move safely, prevent falls, and rebuild strength.
Transportation to Follow-Ups
Caregivers drive the patient to follow-up appointments and therapy visits.
Meals and Personal Care
Caregivers prepare meals and assist with bathing and dressing during recovery.
Readmission Prevention
Nurses follow the discharge plan closely to reduce the risk of a return to the hospital.
Post-Surgical Care Helps Patients Recover at Home
Post-surgical care helps patients recover at home instead of in a rehabilitation facility. Focus Family Care builds a recovery plan around the surgeon's discharge instructions, and a registered nurse supervises the plan.
Patients recovering from major surgery often combine post-surgical care with skilled nursing for wound and IV care, and with physical therapy at home to rebuild strength.
Surgeries Focus Family Care Supports at Home
Focus Family Care supports recovery after joint replacement, cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery, and outpatient procedures. Focus Family Care can begin post-surgical care the day a patient comes home from the hospital.
