Bringing a loved one home after surgery can feel like a relief—and a responsibility. You’re glad they’re out of the hospital, but now you may be wondering: What comes next? That’s where post-operative care steps in.
At Mothers Helping Hands Homecare, we know that recovery doesn’t stop at hospital discharge. The care someone receives at home can make a big impact on how well—and how quickly—they heal. We’re here to support that recovery journey with compassion, skill, and the personal touch every family deserves.
What Is Post-Op Care?
Post-operative (or post-op) care refers to the care provided after someone has had surgery. It’s meant to help the person recover safely at home, reduce the risk of complications, and improve their overall comfort.
From helping with medications to making sure wounds are healing properly, post-op care covers a lot of ground. And because no two recoveries are alike, our care plans are always tailored to each client’s specific needs.
How We Help: A Closer Look at Our Post-Op Services
Here’s a snapshot of what our team at Mothers Helping Hands Homecare provides:
Dressing Changes and Wound Care
- We make sure wounds are clean, dry, and healing properly. Our caregivers are trained to assist with dressing changes and know how to spot signs of infection early.
Medication Reminders
- Surgery often comes with a long list of medications. We help clients stay on track with medication times and doses—because missed meds can slow healing or even cause setbacks.
Help with Bathing, Dressing, and Daily Tasks
- Surgical recovery can make even simple things difficult. We assist with personal care like bathing and dressing while always treating your loved one with dignity and kindness.
Mobility Support
- Whether someone needs help walking, repositioning in bed, or using assistive devices safely, we’re there to provide hands-on support and prevent falls.
Vital Sign Monitoring
- We regularly check vital signs like blood pressure, temperature, and pulse to make sure things are going smoothly—and we report any changes to the care team.
Preventing Bedsores
- Staying in one position too long can lead to painful skin issues. We help clients change positions, keep skin clean and dry, and prevent pressure sores before they start.
Emotional Support
Healing isn’t just physical. Surgery can take a toll emotionally too. Our caregivers offer comfort, conversation, and reassurance when it’s needed most.
Why Families Trust Mothers Helping Hands Homecare

We’re not just here to help—we’re here to support the whole person on their path to recovery.
