What post-surgery care at home includes
Post-operative nursing
A nurse checks vitals, gives prescribed medicines and injections, watches the wound for signs of infection, and helps with mobility in the days after you're discharged.
Surgical wound dressing
Sterile dressing of surgical incisions at home, on the schedule your surgeon advises, with progress noted at each visit.
IV antibiotics, drips and catheter care
If you've been discharged on an IV antibiotic course, a drip or a urinary catheter, a nurse can manage it at home as prescribed.
Physiotherapy after surgery
Post-surgical rehabilitation after knee or hip replacement, spine surgery or fracture fixation — restoring strength, movement and confidence at home, following your surgeon's protocol.

Yes. Our post-surgical rehabilitation visits cover recovery after knee and hip replacement and spine surgery, following your surgeon's rehab protocol.
