What is rehabilitation and recuperation?
Rehabilitation and recuperation is the period spent recovering from illness or injury, when someone works towards returning to their former health or physical state.
Your doctor or surgeon will advise you on the best way to do this; for illness, this might include certain foods or supplements, an exercise plan, or techniques to relax and relieve physical tension.
Recovery after surgery may include any of these things, as well as prescribed pain medication, physical therapy or exercises relevant to the affected area, wound care if necessary, or temporary bed rest. The advice you will receive will be personalised
What is rehabilitation and recuperation care?
Rehabilitation and recuperation care is there to support you in any way you need.
From assistance with arranging discharge from hospital or attending clinic appointments, to helping with daily tasks such as household cleaning, laundry, personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, or getting out into the community.
Home Instead can also provide more specific support around complex health needs such as catheters and stoma care.
We are even there to support with any rehabilitation programmes that you may have been provided.
