Post-Surgery & Wound Care

Post-surgery care is individualized care developed according to a combination of postoperative instructions from a physician and the patient’s specific needs. It often includes pain management and wound care, and can sometimes include rehabilitative therapy. Personal-Touch Home Care provides trained clinical and non-clinical services by professionals specially trained to deliver care in the home. Services can range from a few hours a day to more intermittent care and often include:

• Wound Care, including changing dressings/bandages and draining fluids
• Medication management and education
• Taking note of postoperative progress and communicating directly with the physician
• Checking vital signs
• Assisting with postoperative physical therapy and exercises
• Educating patients on self-monitoring for symptoms or signs of complications
• Assisting with bathing, dressing, and grooming
