If your loved one has some major surgery coming up, you need to not only prepare for the surgery but also prepare for the aftercare of the surgery. Depending upon how serious the surgery is and how many restrictions your loved one will have placed upon them, you will want to look into lining up some assistance to help with those everyday chores that are too difficult for your loved one to perform as they recover. Hiring post surgery care providers may be an option to consider.
If adding all of chores onto your plate is too much, then hiring someone to help with post surgery care might be a good choice for you and your family. A trained professional in post surgery care can come in temporarily to assist with home chores as well as health maintenance. Both will be important, but let’s look at some home chores you might consider for a post surgery care provider to help with.
Yard Work
Depending on the season and how long your loved one will need to recover, you might need some help with yard work and outside care of the property. If your aging loved one lives in their own home, during the winter you will want to consider having someone on call to help with snow removal, ice treatments, and cleaning snow off an outside vehicle. Doing any of these chores could be too much stress on your loved one’s body as they recover from major surgery.
During the spring and summer, there are chores like lawn mowing, weeding, raking, and garden upkeep that will be temporarily too strenuous for your loved one. Having a professional come to the home or even a neighbor to help with this type of care can bring relief to both you and your loved one.
Cleaning
While light cleaning might be okay for your loved one, some household chores may be restricted or off-limits completely. After checking with your loved one’s doctor, looking for some post surgery care help with these chores will provide your loved one the ability to focus on recovering without having to worry if the laundry is washed, folded, and put away or if the living room has been vacuumed.
Meal Prep Provided by Post Surgery Care Aides
Right after major surgery, it might be too difficult for your loved one to prepare healthy meals but you don’t want them surviving on frozen pizza as their body needs all of the healthy nutrients it can get to aid in recovery. Hiring a home care provider for post surgery care might be the solution. They can help make sure your loved one is eating well as they recover.
Pet Care
If your loved one has a dog that needs to be walked each day, you can also have someone come in and help with walking the dog. Whether it’s a neighbor kid or someone you hire, it’ll make sure the pet gets its needed walk while your loved one gets their needed rest.
Planning ahead of time for the post surgery care your loved one will need will ensure a less stressful transition at home and a quicker recovery.
