Is your senior loved one returning home after their surgery? Here are some care tips to consider for their aftercare.
- Before going home, confirm with their doctors about items the senior may need to continue the recovery at home. Ensure these items are in place by the time your senior’s return is up.
- Consider their comfort at home. It may be best to locate their room on the ground floor or closer to the bathroom, where there is minimal need for movement and less requirement for effort.
- Check their safety. Some household items may no longer be safe as their health is still in recovery. De-clutter and improve safety at home so they can be at ease.
- Take note of what to expect during the early days of their recovery. Keep track of their reactions or response to medication or treatment. Have a journal to store and review information about their condition.
- If there is a surgical wound, pay extra attention to wound care. Keep the area safe from infection and minimize any further hazards to their safety.
