In addition to professional senior caregiving services, Home Care Services in Santa Clarita offers post-operative care for people of all ages.

“We work with seniors a lot,” said Rick Ferrante, president of Home Care Services. “It’s sort of a similar scenario, but in this case, it’s a little more short-term, kind of an acute scenario.”

Surgery recovery times can range from a few days to a few weeks — and sometimes even longer — so the caregivers at Home Care Services tailor their specific services to each individual person’s needs.

It may mean simply preparing meals, assisting with activities of daily living or driving the person to a follow-up doctor’s appointment, but could also require additional caregiving services for more serious procedures.

“Sometimes medication makes you kind of loopy, you can’t drive a lot of times, you’re in a lot of pain,” Ferrante said. “Your recovery itself is a lot of times dictated by how much you comply with the instructions of what you should be doing, and it can be tough if you’re trying to do that on your own.”

Home Care Services often sees people who have family or friends that could take care of them, but they’d rather not be an imposition or burden on their loved ones. Once short-term caregiving services are secured through Home Care Services, it’s like a weight off the person’s shoulders, according to Ferrante.

“(They say), ‘Okay, I’ve got that covered, and now I can just concentrate on getting better,” he said.

In addition, caregivers can work with the doctor or surgeon before or after the surgery to ensure the patient is getting the care they need for their recovery.

“What are those instructions, what should we be doing?” Ferrante said. “Let’s make sure that we follow and comply with what that physician is telling us to do.”
