Plan ahead for post-surgery care
Even the smoothest of post-surgery recoveries are aided by the support of family, friends, and caregivers, but especially, when recuperation presents unexpected challenges. At Manana, we provide post-surgery assistance for seniors so you can find solid footing again as fast as possible. We can provide post-surgery pick-up and at home care to ensure there’s someone there to support you or your loved one throughout recovery.
“While all surgeries are complicated, the recovery for seniors is often more so”, according to MediLodge. Elderly patients may find increased difficulty managing pain, nausea, hydration and/or confusion post-op. Monitoring how you or your loved one are/is feeling, along with physical appearance, is important to ensure a healthy recovery from surgery. Excessive pain, disorientation, or bruising may need to be escalated to a doctor.
