Why Pre-Surgical Care Isn’t Just a Footnote
Everyone talks about recovery, but what about the lead-up?
For many seniors, the pre-surgery days are filled with anxiety, new routines, and a whole lot of instructions from doctors. Sometimes, family members can’t juggle work, distance, and caregiving all at once.
That’s where we step in.
Here’s how our team lightens the load before surgery:
- Double-checking pre-op instructions (fasting, medication tweaks, you name it).
- Driving seniors to medical appointments or pre-surgery tests.
- Keeping medication schedules on track.
- Offering a friendly ear when nerves kick in.
- Prepping the home for a safe return: think clutter-free walkways and easy bathroom access.
A little planning and extra support can mean the difference between calm and chaos. So why face surgery alone?
After Surgery: Recovery with Confidence
The moment surgery wraps, a new set of challenges pops up.
Hospitals send seniors home faster than you can say “post-op instructions,” leaving them and their families wondering, “Now what?” Limited mobility, new meds, dietary changes, and fear of falling are real concerns.
Always Best Care of San Antonio brings peace of mind with post-surgical care that covers:
- Medication reminders, so there aren’t any missed doses.
- Meal prep that fits any dietary need and helps with healing.
- Help with bathing, dressing, and other daily routines.
- Mobility support to lower the risk of falls.
- Light housekeeping for a tidy, safe space.
- Transportation for follow-up visits.
And let’s not forget companionship. A friendly face can do wonders for a senior’s mood and motivation.
