Post-operative nursing care, in the comfort of your home.
The surgery is over, but the risk isn't. Recovera's registered nurses bring hospital-grade post-operative care to your home through the critical first days of recovery — so you heal safely where you're most comfortable.
Why the first 72 hours decide the recovery
Same-day discharge is increasingly common — but the highest-risk period for post-surgical complications is the first three days at home.
Complications surface at home
Infection, bleeding, blood clots, and medication reactions most often appear in the first days after discharge — when no clinical team is watching.
Pain and swelling peak early
The first 72 hours are when pain, swelling, and limited mobility are at their worst. Professional management keeps you comfortable and moving safely.
Early detection changes outcomes
A nurse who checks your wound, vitals, and symptoms daily can catch a problem hours or days before it becomes an emergency — and a readmission.
What a post-operative nurse does at home
Every visit follows your surgeon's discharge instructions and recovery protocol. We document each visit and report directly to your surgical team.
- Wound and incision assessment, dressing changes, and drain care
- Vital-sign monitoring: temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen
- Pain and medication management, on your surgeon's protocol
- Early detection of infection, clots, and other complications
- Safe mobility, transfers, and fall-prevention support
- Direct escalation to your surgeon or emergency services when needed
Post-operative care is for anyone going home after surgery
Whether your procedure was orthopedic, plastic, or general surgery, the first days at home carry the same risks.
Same-day discharge patients
Sent home the day of surgery with no hospital bed and no clinical oversight — we close that gap.
Families who can't be there
When work, distance, or health limits what family can do, a nurse provides the watchful eye.
Patients recovering alone
Living on your own after surgery is risky. Scheduled visits plus a 24/7 nurse line mean you're never truly alone.
