Having surgery or having to stay in a hospital is scary enough, but what if you can't care for yourself at home and don't have family who can help?  If you're scheduled for hip or knee replacement surgery or just want to have a cosmetic procedure done, hiring professional after surgery in home care is an excellent way to ensure a speedy and comfortable recovery.

Hospitals, dentists and medical centers won't let you drive yourself home after any type of surgical procedure.  Non-medical home care agencies like A-1 Home Care can pick you up, drive you to your clinical appointment and assist you home afterwards.  At home recovery from an expert Caregiver, Nurse Aide or Home Health Aide is an affordable post-surgical solution to your personal care needs.
