Non-Medical After Surgery Support in Philadelphia

Don't Risk Your Recovery

That critical first 48 hours home from the hospital is when you’re most vulnerable. Does this sound familiar?

You’re being discharged from Jefferson or Penn Medicine, and you’re terrified to be alone for that first night.
Your family in Northeast Philly wants to help, but they have to go back to work and can’t provide 24/7 support.
You’re terrified of a fall or a slip on your way to the bathroom, which could ruin your entire hip replacement recovery.
You’re overwhelmed trying to manage meals, hygiene, and medication reminders while you’re in pain.

Hospitals discharge you faster than ever. That “gap” between hospital and recovery can be dangerous. Our trained caregivers provide the non-medical after surgery home care in Philadelphia you need for a safe, fast, and successful recovery at home, preventing setbacks and re-hospitalization.

What is Non-Medical Post-Surgery Support?

This is not skilled nursing (a visiting nurse). This is the crucial safety net that helps you with everything else. Our caregivers are trained to monitor your well-being, manage household tasks, and assist with personal care so you can focus on one thing: healing.

Our Post-Surgery Support services include:

Safe Mobility & Transfer Assistance (getting in/out of bed, to the bathroom)
Strict medication and fluid reminders to stay on schedule
Nutritious meal preparation (vital for healing)
Personal Care & Hygiene Assistance (bathing, dressing) to keep you comfortable and reduce infection risk
Transportation to follow-up doctor appointments at Temple or other Philly hospitals
Light housekeeping, laundry, and running errands (like prescription pickup)

Our 3-Step Path to a Safe Recovery

Step 1: The Pre-Discharge Consultation We coordinate with you before your surgery. We meet you (or your family) to create a care plan that’s ready the moment you get home to Philadelphia.
Step 2: The Personalized Recovery Plan We develop a custom plan. We then hand-select a caregiver who is experienced in post-operative support and fall prevention.
Step 3: Ongoing Support & Communication Your care begins. We provide consistent updates to your family and are on-call 24/7 from our local Philadelphia office.

FAQs About Post-Surgery Support in Philadelphia

How is this different from the ‘skilled nursing’ the hospital provides?

A skilled nurse (RN) performs medical tasks like changing dressings or managing IVs. We provide the essential non-medical support: fall prevention, mobility assistance, personal hygiene, meal prep, and medication reminders – everything that ensures your safety 24/7.

I only need help for two weeks. Do you do short-term care?

Yes, absolutely. Our post-surgery support is designed to be flexible. We can provide care for as little as a few days to several weeks, scaling back as you regain your independence.

Can your caregiver drive me to my follow-up appointments?

Yes. Providing transportation to follow-up appointments with your surgeon or physical therapist is a core part of our service.

What training do your caregivers have for post-surgery (e.g., hip/knee replacement) support?

Our caregivers are trained in safe mobility and transfer techniques, fall prevention, and how to assist with personal care (like bathing) while protecting your incision site and respecting movement limitations.

How quickly can I arrange for care after my surgery is scheduled?

As soon as you have your surgery date. We prefer to do the consultation before you go to the hospital. This way, your care plan is in place and your caregiver is ready the moment you return home to Philadelphia.
