When a person is recovering from a serious illness or surgery, they are often reliant on help from others. Hospitalization happens when the body needs time and support to heal. Surgery also requires downtime and assistance for the body to heal properly. Significant illness and invasive procedures (including childbirth) are reasons to consider options of self-care so that faster recovery is possible. 

After a lengthy stay in the hospital due to a traumatic car accident, surgery or illness, the thought of taking care of yourself can be scary and overwhelming. Especially if your body is still recovering and you don’t feel like you can take care of your everyday living tasks like bathing, cooking, cleaning or even driving. After hospitalization, many people are afraid of not having the adequate care and for good reason. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported in September 2019 that being discharged from the hospital can be a dangerous event. Nearly 20% of patients experience adverse events within three weeks of discharge, three-quarters of which were preventable.  

Hospital aftercare in your own home offers a safe alternative to rehab or a nursing facility where exposure to COVID-19 is higher and caregivers have several patients to attend to which means your needs may lag attention.  Post-hospitalization, recovering from a car accident or surgery—SYNERGY HomeCare home care ensures a speedy recovery, reducing the risk of readmission.
