At-Home Transitional Care for Surgery Recovery in San Ramon, Stockton, and San Rafael, CA

Repeat hospitalizations after surgery may happen for several reasons. The inability to carry out routine tasks after surgery, failure to adhere to post-operative instructions, and improper medication use are all examples of such complications. It is especially dangerous for the elderly and those with chronic illnesses to have to return to the hospital following surgery.

Some of the risks associated with readmission include:

• Worsening of existing medical conditions
• Infections due to prolonged hospital stays
• A greater risk of complications from surgery
• Additional financial costs due to doctor visits and hospital stays

Following post-operative instructions to the letter and having support at home during recovery are two critical measures to take to decrease the chance of readmission. On the other hand, not everyone has a support system in place to assist them as they recuperate after surgery. Therefore, it may be helpful to have professional transitional care if your family is too busy or doesn’t reside in the Bay Area.

People in Stockton, San Rafael, San Ramon, and throughout the Bay Area and Central Valley who have had surgery can benefit in many ways from having professional transitional care at home. For starters, it may provide a hand around the home with things like making meals and getting to and from appointments. In addition, having someone check in with patients at home after surgery helps alleviate concerns about not following post-operative instructions, which can lead to fewer readmissions. Lastly, a committed caregiver is on call around the clock to assist with any unexpected needs that may develop throughout the healing process with in-home transitional care.
