Ezra Home Care: Unwavering Support for Israel Against Hamas Terrorism and Its Backers

Post-Surgical Care

Supporting Patients' Recovery at Home. One of the major concerns doctors have over patients returning to their homes after surgery is surgical site infections (SSI). According to the National Library of Medicine (NLB), it’s estimated that SSIs occur in about 2-5% of patients undergoing inpatient surgery in the United States. This happens when patients don’t take the necessary precautions to avoid contact with germs on a surgical wound. With proper home care, patients' post-surgical recovery would be smooth and devoid of health hazards. Research published in Science Direct showed that 45% of patients depend on various medical home help services after surgery.

Post-surgical care plays a vital role in ensuring a patient's successful recovery and reducing the risk of complications after a surgical procedure. The period following surgery is crucial for the patient's well-being and requires specialized attention. 
  
Studies have consistently shown that proper post-hospital care significantly contributes to improved patient outcomes such as:

  • Reduced rates of complications
  • Lower readmission rates
  • Faster recovery times compared to those who do not receive comprehensive care
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Reduced pain levels

Challenges Associated with Postoperative Nursing Care

While post-hospital care is essential, several challenges may arise during this critical period. They include:

1. Communication Gaps

Inadequate communication between the surgical team, hospital staff, and home care providers can lead to fragmented care and patient needs misunderstandings. Establishing effective channels of communication and ensuring all parties are well-informed about the patient's care plan is crucial for seamless post-surgical care.

2. Medication Errors and Adherence

Due to the plethora of drugs given to patients, they can often be incorrectly administered. Mismanagement of medications can pose significant risks to patients during recovery.

It is essential to have clear medication instructions and regular communication between doctors, post-surgery caregivers, and patients to minimize potential errors.

3. Inadequate Monitoring and Follow-up

Patients are sometimes left to fend for themselves after surgery without any proper support. Without proper monitoring and follow-up, early signs of complications may be missed. This can result in surgical site infections (SSI).
Timely communication between home care providers and the surgical team is crucial for promptly identifying and promptly addressing potential complications after surgery.

4. Emotional and Psychological Well-being

No one wants to go under the knife especially if there's a high risk of not making it back alive.
Patients may experience anxiety, depression, or feelings of vulnerability during the recovery phase. 

Services a Home Care Provider Can Provide for Patients Post-Surgery:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you select caregivers to join the Ezra Home Care team?

Our caregivers undergo a rigorous screening process including a criminal background investigation, certification or licensing verification (in applicable positions), and a thorough reference check. The caregivers that we select are all people that we would want to take care of our own loved ones.

How do I know that I or my loved one will be assigned a caregiver that is a good fit?

First we will conduct a free Safety and Needs Assessment of your loved one or of your current situation. The Safety and Needs Assessment will allow us to customize a care schedule and determine the type of caregiver your loved one or you may need. Then we will give you and your family the chance to meet with several caregivers that match your needs and schedule.

What if the caregiver I am assigned is not a good match for me?

If you find, for any reason, that you would prefer to try another caregiver we will find a replacement for you.

What if I only need help for an hour or two?

No problem. At Ezra Home Care, we have no minimum hour requirements.

If I already live in an assisted living community, can I still use your services?

Absolutely. Many of our clients need more care than an assisted living community can provide but do not want to live in a nursing home. As long as your community approves, we can supplement your care services so that you can remain as independent as possible.

What if I’ve already moved into a nursing home, but still want services that Ezra Home Care offers?

We are happy to assist you no matter where you live. If you find that you’d like a companion to talk to, an escort to an appointment or any type of assistance beyond your nursing home’s services, we are there for you.

Ezra Home Care is a “private pay” service. What does that mean?

Private pay means that services are paid for using personal income or assets—without aid from insurance or government benefits. We would be happy to discuss pricing details with you directly.

Are there any other ways to pay for private home care services?

Yes, there are other available options:
  • Long term care insurance
  • Reverse mortgages
  • Veterans Administrations
  • Workman’s Compensation
  • State and local programs, community organizations
  • Viatical Settlement

Why choose Ezra Home Care over a franchise?

Ezra Home Care is large enough to handle all of your home care needs, yet small enough to give you the personalized service and care you deserve. Since Ezra Home Care is privately owned, we have a greater flexibility of accommodating our clients' needs. We are not bound by territory, and are capable of providing continued care even when our clients are being relocated to another areas. Our decision-making process is more efficient than that of a franchise because all of our decisions are made right in the office, without the need for a comparatively lengthy corporate approval process. Schedule a free Needs and Safety Assessment and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
