Help at home after surgery or a hospital stay

Coming home after an operation is a big step. We help with the trip home, meals, showering and getting around safely, all while following the discharge plan from your treating team.

Back home from hospital

A calmer first few weeks after your operation

The days after surgery are often harder than people expect. You may be sore, tired and unsteady on your feet, and simple jobs like cooking or showering can feel out of reach. Our carers can meet you at the hospital, help you settle in at home and stay while you get comfortable.

From there, we help with the parts of the day that are tricky while you heal. We follow the discharge plan and the instructions from your health team, and we let you or your family know if something doesn't seem right. Families across the Gold Coast use us for a few days, a few weeks or until they are back on their feet.

What we help with

Practical support while your body heals

Your surgeon, GP and physio set the plan for your recovery. Inspiring Homecare helps you stick to it at home. We take care of the everyday jobs, so you can save your energy for resting and getting stronger.

Depending on your plan, our carers can help with:

A carer to bring you home from hospital and help you settle in
Prompts to take your medicines at the times on your discharge plan
Help getting in and out of bed, the shower and the car
Clearing walkways, checking lighting and keeping an eye out for trip hazards
Walks and gentle movement as your physio or surgeon has advised
Cooking meals that suit any eating instructions from your health team
Help with showering, dressing and keeping dressings dry, following the instructions from your health team
Washing, vacuuming, shopping and putting the bins out
Getting you to follow-up appointments, scans and physio sessions
Letting you or your family know if you seem unwell or something has changed

You can book us for a short stretch after a planned operation or for longer if recovery takes more time. Talk to us before your surgery date, if you can, and we'll plan your first week home together.
