Help at Home After Surgery, a Stroke or a Hospital Stay

Home Care After Surgery, a Stroke or a Hospital Stay in Greater Boston

The first weeks at home are when families most need an extra pair of hands. Ezra Home Care's caregivers help with the daily tasks that are hard to manage during this time, so family members don't have to do everything themselves. We serve Newton, Boston, Brookline, Wellesley, Needham, Weston and nearby towns. Talk to us about care.

How Our Caregivers Help

• Bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting
• Help walking, getting in and out of bed and moving around the house safely
• Meals, groceries, laundry and light housekeeping
• Medication reminders
• Rides and company to follow-up and therapy appointments
• Companionship, and keeping family members informed

Help at Home After Surgery

A hip or knee replacement, heart surgery or another operation often means weeks of limited mobility. A caregiver can help with personal care, meals and getting around the house while you follow your doctor's instructions.

Help at Home After a Stroke

A stroke can change how someone walks, uses their hands or manages daily routines. Our caregivers help with transfers, walking, bathing, dressing and meals, and with getting to therapy appointments, from hourly visits to live-in care. Ezra provides non-medical support; nursing and therapy come from your medical team. Learn more about stroke recovery and hospital-to-home care.

Coming Home From the Hospital or Rehab

Call us as soon as a discharge date is set. We start with a free consultation, then assess needs at home, write a care plan and arrange caregivers for the first days at home. Hospital discharge planners and social workers can also refer families to us directly.

Choosing the Right Level of Care

• Hourly care: scheduled shifts for help with daily routines.
• 24-hour care: caregivers awake in shifts around the clock, for someone who needs help at all hours.
• Live-in care: two regular caregivers who take turns, one living in at a time, for clients who generally sleep through the night.

Care can be reduced as needs change.

Questions Families Ask

Does Medicare pay for this kind of help?

No. Ezra Home Care is a private-pay company and cannot accept payment from Medicare or Medicaid. Some long-term care insurance policies help cover home care.

How long does care after a hospital stay last?

As long as you need it. Some families need help for a few weeks after surgery; others continue with ongoing care. We adjust the schedule as needs change.

Do you provide nursing or therapy?

No. Ezra Home Care is a non-medical home care company. Our caregivers help with daily living, mobility, meals and companionship, alongside the nurses and therapists from your medical team. The majority of our caregivers are state-certified HHAs or CNAs.
