Preoperative and Postoperative Care

Prior to having your surgical procedure, you should be aware of support needs to be in place when you leave hospital, and you should always endeavor to have that organized in advance. This is always possible because of the circumstances and homecare needs to be arranged so that your recovery can continue as soon as you arrive back home. Samaritan Home Health can have a professional Nurse in your home as soon as possible to give you the support you need the moment you arrive home.

Dependent on your preferences, we can offer both visiting and live-in post operative care in your home. Visiting care consists of any amount of time from 30 minutes plus and can occur as many times as you need throughout the day, and overnight too. Visits will be prearranged so that you always know when the Nurse is coming.

In both Live-in and Visiting care our nurses will support you with the hospital’s recommendation, whether that be mobility or diet that you need to help your recovery. It is vital that your doctors’ instructions are followed once you’redischarged, and our nurses can be part of a wider integrated care team consisting of other professionals like physiotherapists.
