Post-Surgery Care Services

After a hospital stay or surgical procedure, the road to recovery can be challenging, especially for seniors or those living alone. At Interim Healthcare of La Jolla, we offer professional, compassionate post-hospitalization care and post-surgery care to help individuals recover safely and comfortably at home. Our in-home care services are designed to reduce the risk of complications and support physical and emotional healing.

What is Post-Surgery Care at Home?

Post-surgery care—also known as post-hospitalization care—includes personalized assistance with recovery after a medical procedure or hospital discharge. This type of care focuses on helping patients manage medication, prevent infections, follow rehabilitation routines, and safely navigate daily activities.

At Interim Healthcare of La Jolla, we understand that every recovery journey is different. That’s why our care plans are tailored to each person’s specific condition, procedure, and recovery goals.

  • Medication Reminders and Monitoring: Ensuring prescriptions are taken as directed and on time.

     

  • Wound and Incision Care Support: Assistance with basic dressing changes and hygiene (in coordination with nursing if needed).

     

  • Mobility Assistance: Help with walking, transfers, and fall prevention during recovery.
