Considering options for your loved one\u2019s post-surgery care can be overwhelming. In late life, post-surgery care can be much more complex and tedious, and be required for a longer period of time. Once the patient has made a full recovery, follow-up care like physical or occupational therapy may be required. Knowing where to begin and how to address your loved one\u2019s unique needs doesn\u2019t have to be stressful. Finding a long-term care facility that specializes in post-surgery care can not only reduce your physical, emotional, and sometimes financial burden, it can raise the quality of care your loved ones will receive as they recover.<\/span><\/p>\n Immediately Following Surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n Many post-surgery patients require a multitude of care types, depending on their surgery type, injury type, overall health, and fitness level.

There is also always some risk of complication post-surgery, and often the at-home environment is not set up to quickly diagnose complications and treat them on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n How Long To Recover<\/strong><\/p>\n When considering the time and resources you\u2019ll need to commit to your loved one\u2019s post-surgery care, it\u2019s important to understand that all bodies and minds heal differently, and at different rates. Your loved one\u2019s care team will give you an estimated recovery time, but a full recovery can take months or years in late life.
