Post-Surgery Recovery Support
Non-medical help through the risky first weeks at home after a hospital stay, joint replacement or major procedure, when the discharge paperwork assumes someone is there.
The Discharge Instructions Assume Someone Is Home. Often Nobody Is.
Hospital discharge is where a lot of recoveries quietly go wrong. The instructions say no lifting, no stairs alone, watch for these six symptoms, attend physical therapy three times a week. They assume a healthy adult is available full time. Frequently that person has a job, or lives in another state, or is themselves seventy eight.
We fill that gap with non-medical support: mobility and transfer help, medication reminders, meal preparation that supports healing, transportation to follow up appointments and physical therapy, and consistent eyes on the person during the weeks when readmission risk is highest. We work alongside any home health nursing or therapy your physician ordered, not instead of it.
Support Through the First Weeks Home
Mobility and transfers
Safe movement between bed, chair, bathroom and vehicle while weight bearing is limited.
Medication reminders
Documented prompts so the post-op medication schedule is actually followed.
Meal preparation
Meals that support healing and hydration, prepared to any dietary restriction from the discharge plan.
Appointment transportation
Rides to follow up visits and physical therapy, with the caregiver staying throughout.
Household support
Laundry, tidying, dishes and the daily upkeep that lifting restrictions make impossible.
Watchful observation
A consistent presence who notices changes early and escalates to the family and clinical team.

Often the same day. Discharge cases are our fastest turnarounds, and we can frequently coordinate directly with the hospital discharge planner or case manager. Call 321-758-2036 as soon as a discharge date is on the table.
No. We are a non-medical agency, so we do not perform skilled nursing tasks such as wound care, injections or catheter management. Those come from a home health agency under physician orders, and we work alongside them.
Standard Medicare does not pay for non-medical home care. Some long term care insurance policies and VA benefits do. We will tell you what we know about your situation during the assessment and point you toward the right questions to ask.
Most start with two to six weeks of higher intensity coverage and then either stop or step down to a lighter ongoing schedule. There is no long term contract holding you in place.
