Postoperative care revolves around the care a patient receives after a surgical procedure. Not only is immediate attention provided to the patient who undergoes an operation, but care continues during the initial recovery period and throughout successive outpatient visits.
The patients who receive surgical treatments not only benefit from close observation after an operation but experience a sense of comfort during the healing process knowing that compassionate, post-surgery care is readily available. Seniors who are unable to provide self-care can rely on non-medical caregivers to lend a helping hand.
