Frequently Asked Questions

When should I arrange post-surgery home care?

Before the surgery date if possible. We coordinate with the hospital so a caregiver is ready when your loved one comes home. Call (908) 912-6342 as early as you can.

How long does post-surgery care last?

Typically 1-6 weeks depending on the surgery. Joint replacements often need 2-4 weeks; cardiac surgery may need longer. Our RN adjusts the plan as recovery progresses.

Can your caregivers handle wound care?

Our caregivers observe surgical sites and report changes to our RN. Actual wound care (dressing changes, suture care) is performed by the surgeon’s team or visiting nurse.

Do you coordinate with the surgeon’s office?

Yes. Our RN communicates with your surgeon’s team and follows discharge instructions precisely.

Is post-surgery care covered by insurance?

We are private-pay, which allows immediate start and full flexibility. Some LTCI policies cover post-surgical care. We assist with claims.
