Does any of this sound familiar?

You do not need to tick every box. One or two is reason enough to call.

  • You are being discharged after surgery and will be on your own
  • Nobody has shown you how to change the dressing properly
  • You are not sure what a normal incision is supposed to look like
  • You came home with more prescriptions than you went in with
  • You have been told to move, but not how much is safe

Healing is not the same as being discharged

Hospitals send people home earlier than they used to, which is generally good medicine — recovery is faster in your own bed. What it also means is that the weeks where infection, clots and medication errors are most likely now happen in a house with no clinician in it. We put one there on a schedule, so problems get caught while they are still small.

Who this is for

Anyone home after joint replacement, cardiac, abdominal or other surgery who needs clinical eyes on the recovery.

What your care plan covers

Built around your surgeon's instructions, not a generic protocol.

01

Incision and wound care

Dressings changed on schedule and the site assessed properly each visit. Infection has a window where it is easy to treat, and the whole point is to catch it inside that window.

02

Pain and medication control

Post-operative prescriptions reviewed against everything else you take. Uncontrolled pain stops you moving, and not moving is what causes most of the secondary problems.

03

Guided return to movement

Physical and occupational therapy that respects your surgical restrictions while getting you upright. Too cautious is its own risk.

04

Complication watch

Monitoring for infection, blood clots and the warning signs your surgeon told you to look for — by someone who knows what they look like.
