Recovery care refers to the support and assistance provided to individuals who are recovering from illness, injury, surgery, or other medical procedures. The goal of recovery care is to help individuals regain their strength, independence, and overall health following a period of illness or injury. This can include personal care, medication reminders, mobility exercises, rehabilitation assistance with physical, occupational, and speech therapy exercises as instructed by your medical therapist.
Studies have shown that patients discharged from the hospital due to an admission or postoperative surgery have a lower risk of readmission back to hospital if using home care services. CareCo will give you peace of mind and help you recover safely so that you do not have to be readmitted to the hospital.
CareCo's dedicated team is here to help you regain your independence after a surgery or hospitalization. The first days back home after an admission or surgery can be vital to getting you back to 100%. There might be pain, new medication effects, or even mobility issues that can be difficult to overcome without proper assistance available to help you navigate through this time.
Although most people would want to recover in the comfort of their own home, it may not be the safest option without a proper support system. That is where CareCo steps in to fill the gap. We understand that family or other forms of your support system might not be able to meet the obligations to ensure your safe recovery. Our experts are willing and ready to assist you on your road to recovery.
As you recover, we will coordinate care with your healthcare providers including, but not limited to your skilled home health, primary care doctor, or surgeon. We can provide feedback to your medical team and ensure you are back on the road to recovery.
CareCo understands the challenges that can arise after a hospital stay or surgery. We also understand that some of our clients need only a week or two of recovery while others may need several months or longer to return to full speed. That is why we do not require an upfront deposit for care. When you utilize our services, you will only pay for what you need whether that be for a very short time or care for many years. CareCo is here and happy to help you on your road to recovery.
Below are some examples of the assistance provided in our recovery care services
Our bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, incontinence care are available if needed as you recover.
Our meal preparation and planning, light housekeeping, and companionship services are all inclusive on your road to recovery.
We can provide medication reminders to ensure you are taking your medications properly. We can also monitor potential adverse effects if you are taking new medications after a surgery or hospital stay.
We can transport you to and from post-operative or follow up appointments, assist with prescription pickup, and other errands as needed.
We can provide assistance with ambulation. Oftentimes after a lengthy hospital stay, we see that our clients have lost strength and have an increased potential to fall. We want to provide safety with walking and exercises so that you can get to your normal self.
Although we are not licensed physical, occupational, or speech therapists, we can work in conjunction with these medical providers to ensure exercises are being completed properly and safely. Simple therapy exercise reminders are often helpful for many of our clients so that they can recover quicker.
