How do I get home care after surgery?
Request care before your surgery or as soon as discharge is confirmed. A Recovera nurse coordinator reviews your procedure, timing, and home setup, then arranges an RN visit around your discharge plan.

We don't do everything. We do the first days after surgery — exceptionally. Each visit is led by an RN trained in the recovery protocols for your specific procedure.

- Joint & fracture care
- Safe transfers & mobility
- Pain & swelling control
Plastic surgery care
Drain and incision management, compression dressing checks, swelling and circulation monitoring, and scar-care guidance after cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.
- Drain & incision care
- Dressing changes
- Circulation checks
General surgery support
Wound and ostomy care, post-op vital monitoring, medication management, and early complication detection after general and same-day surgical procedures.
- Wound & ostomy care
- Vital-sign monitoring
- Complication detection
How it works
From discharge to confident recovery
A clear, four-step path designed around the fragile first days after same-day surgery.
01
Referral & intake
Your surgeon's office or you request care. We confirm coverage, surgery details, and your home setup — usually within hours.
02
First home visit
An RN arrives home after your discharge to settle you in, review medications, and assess your wound, vital signs, pain, and mobility.
03
Daily recovery plan
Scheduled visits plus 24/7 nurse-line access. We track vitals, manage drains and dressings, and flag anything unusual early.
04
Hand-off to wellness
When you're stable, we hand off to your surgeon with a full recovery summary and a clear plan for the weeks ahead.
When the hospital has no beds
Don't cancel your surgery. Recover at home instead.
When a hospital can't free up a post-surgical bed, your procedure can be postponed — sometimes for weeks. It doesn't have to be. With a critical-care-qualified recovery nurse in your home, you can be discharged the same day, rest where you're comfortable, and still be closely monitored through the highest-risk first days.
- Same-day discharge instead of a canceled or delayed surgery
- Critical care qualified RN nearby through the first 72 hours
- Vital signs, wounds, drains, and pain watched the way a surgical unit would
- A direct line to your surgeon's team if anything changes
A safer alternative to waiting
A postponed surgery can mean prolonged pain, lost time at work, and added stress. Our nurses bring hospital-grade post-surgical attention to your living room — so the operation happens on schedule and the recovery doesn't skip a beat.
Every plan is built around your procedure and cleared with your surgeon's team before you go home.
Why Recovera
The first 72 hours decide the recovery.
Same-day discharge saves time, but the risk doesn't end at the hospital door. Our nurses close the gap — catching complications early, keeping pain controlled, and giving families someone to call.
- Early complication detection
- Family education & peace of mind
- Direct line to your surgeon's team

Patient reviews
What patients and families tell us
Shared with their written permission. Every recovery is different, and a review is one family's experience rather than a promise of results.
“Having this kind of personal service when recovering from any surgery is a fantastic thing! My husband opted for this type of in-home recovery after his knee surgery and it was such a blessing to be in the privacy of our own home and being taken care of by a compassionate, competant nurse. Someone who really cared about the well being of their patient. Can't possibly say enough about how positive this experience was and would highly recommend this to anyone!”
“Mom came home the same afternoon as her knee replacement. On arrival a Recovera nurse had her settled, medicated, and comfortable. We never felt alone.”

Scope of care & limitation of liability
Recovera and its nursing staff are independent of, and bear no responsibility or liability for, the surgical procedure itself or any inherent medical complications arising directly or indirectly from the surgery.
Our nurses provide post-surgical nursing care, monitoring, and education at home, and escalate concerns to your surgeon or emergency services. Read the full scope of care.
