Post-operative Home Care
Providing quality care right in the comfort of your home
Setting the highest standard of home care giving in Georgia
Postoperative care is the care you receive after a medical surgery has been done. The scope of our postoperative recovery care required depends on the patient’s pre-surgical health status, type of surgery, and whether the surgery was performed in a day-surgery setting or in the hospital. Our postoperative care often includes pain management and wound care. Postoperative care starts immediately after surgery.
It can be stressful when you or your loved one are/is admitted to the hospital. They are most vulnerable at home without needed attention. That’s why planning ahead—for when you or your loved one returns home from the hospital—is such a crucial step. In fact, research shows that the right postoperative or hospital-to-home care can reduce the chances of complications and do wonders for supporting your recovery process.

Older adults and patients who have been in theatre for a long period are at risk of hypothermia. Shivering can be due to anaesthesia or a high temperature indicative of an infection, while a drop in temperature might indicate a bacterial infection or sepsis. Our responsibility at Detoffcares is to ensure that our patients’ temperature is monitored closely and actions taken to return it to/within normal parameters.
We ensure maximum and quick recovery for all our patients who have just gone through an operation. At Detoffcares we follow strictly your Doctor’s instructions.
