Post-Operative Care in North York, ON

The time after an operation is crucial for your long-term health and recovery. Mishandling that post-op period can lead to:

• Dangerous infections
• Longer recovery times
• Increased pain levels
• Lasting health issues
• Decrease immune response

Thankfully, you can easily avoid this when you take the right steps.

While some people can manage to recover just fine on their own, it’s often best to get professional help. Some people may go so far as to seek recovery at an inpatient facility, but if that’s not where you’d feel best, there are professionals specifically trained to help you recover from the comfort of home.

What is Post-Hospital Care for Seniors?

Medication management

• Physical therapy
• Wound dressing and changing of bandages
• Post-hospital care from a nurse
• Preparing meals
• Assistance with bathing, getting dressed, and general personal hygiene
• Looking after laundry
• Transportation services for medical and other needs
• Medication delivery

Our professionals in North York, Ontario can provide all of this and more. We hire a wide range of care partners to help fulfill any needs you may have while you recover. What care you’ll get depends entirely on what you or your loved one requires for a swift, obstacle-free recovery.
