Post-Operative Care at Home Across England
What Is Post-Operative Care at Home?
Post-operative care at home is structured, short-term or live-in support provided after surgery or hospital discharge. It ensures individuals recover safely in familiar surroundings while receiving assistance with mobility, wound care monitoring, medication management, and daily living activities.
Following surgery, many patients face reduced mobility, increased risk of complications, and strict medication schedules. Professional post-surgery home care reduces the likelihood of hospital readmission and supports a smoother recovery process. Whether the procedure was orthopaedic, cardiac, oncological, or general surgery, personalised home care helps patients regain independence safely.
At Neeryville Care, our CQC-regulated service provides both 24-hour live-in care and scheduled domiciliary visits across England, ensuring that recovery at home is clinically supported, structured, and professionally overseen.

Who Is Post-Operative Home Care Suitable For?
Post-operative home care is suitable for individuals who require additional support following surgery or medical treatment.
This includes:
• Patients returning home after hip or knee replacement surgery
• Individuals recovering from heart surgery or cardiac procedures
• People discharged after cancer treatment or major operations
• Stroke recovery patients requiring rehabilitation support
• Elderly individuals needing temporary 24-hour care
• Anyone requiring short-term assistance with mobility, wound care, or medication
Recovery needs vary significantly from person to person. Some require short daily visits, while others benefit from temporary live-in care during the initial recovery phase. A structured assessment determines the most appropriate level of support.

Hospital Discharge and Short-Term Recovery Support
Hospital discharge can feel overwhelming, particularly when medical instructions, physiotherapy exercises, and medication schedules must be managed immediately.
Our hospital discharge care ensures a safe transition from hospital to home. We work alongside discharge teams, family members, and healthcare professionals to align care plans with clinical guidance and recovery objectives.
Short-term live-in care can be arranged for intensive early support, while domiciliary care visits may be scheduled for patients who require assistance at specific times of day. This flexible approach allows individuals to recover safely at home while maintaining continuity of care.
By reducing environmental stress and supporting structured recovery routines, professional home care significantly lowers the risk of post-operative complications and readmission.
Short-term recovery support may include:
• Assistance with mobility following surgery
• Monitoring for post-operative complications
• Medication reminders and adherence support
• Support with wound care observation
• Help with personal care and hygiene
• Nutritional support to aid healing
• Night-time supervision where required depending on the level of need, care can be arranged as:
• Short-term live-in care for intensive 24-hour support
• Scheduled domiciliary care visits during the day
• Overnight care for safety and reassurance
How Post-Operative Care Begins
Arranging post-operative care at home follows a structured and transparent process.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a discussion to understand the surgery, discharge timeline, and immediate support needs.
Comprehensive Assessment
A qualified care professional evaluates clinical requirements, mobility limitations, medication schedules, and environmental safety.
Personalised Care Plan
A detailed recovery care plan is developed in alignment with medical instructions and physiotherapy guidance.
Carer Matching
We carefully match a trained carer with relevant experience in post-surgery support.
Ongoing Monitoring and Review
Care plans are reviewed regularly to ensure progress, adapt to improvements, and maintain safety throughout recovery.
This structured approach ensures safe recovery, accountability, and professional oversight at every stage.
How Much Does Post-Operative Care at Home Cost?
The cost of post-operative home care depends on several factors:
• Level of support required
• Duration of recovery
• Live-in care versus scheduled visits
• Clinical complexity of needs
• Geographic location
Short-term domiciliary care is typically arranged for individuals needing assistance at specific times, while live-in care provides continuous support during more intensive recovery phases.
Following assessment, we provide a clear and transparent care proposal outlining the recommended level of support. There are no hidden structures, and care can often be adjusted as recovery progresses.
Investing in structured recovery support reduces complications, shortens rehabilitation time, and provides reassurance for families during a critical period.
