Post-Operative Care at Home in Calgary

Arrange practical help for the first days or weeks after surgery. C-NURSES can assist with personal routines, meals and everyday movement at home, following the limits and instructions set by your healthcare team.

The Return Home

Make Daily Life Easier During Recovery

Discharge instructions often tell you what activity is allowed and when to contact a healthcare professional. They may not cover who will make meals, help you get dressed or manage household routines while movement is limited. That is where non-medical post-operative home care can help.

Before visits begin, tell us what surgery you are recovering from, your expected discharge date, written activity restrictions and the practical help you need. C-NURSES supports the daily routine; your surgeon and healthcare team direct wound care, medication changes and medical decisions.

C-Nurses HomeCare has been such a great support for our family. Their caregivers are kind, dependable, professional, and genuinely caring. They always treat our loved ones with dignity, respect, and compassion. Communication with the office has been easy, scheduling has been reliable, and the care has been consistent. We are very thankful for the peace of mind they have given us and would highly recommend C-Nurses HomeCare to anyone looking for trusted caregivers, senior home care, or post-hospital support in Calgary.

Noor is a highly qualified and competent nurse to deal with. It's very easy to talk to him and he understands what you need. He deals with people with dignity, honesty and kindness. I would highly recommend him for your nursing and caring needs!

I had a great experience meeting Noor. He was an amazing person with a very polite, respectful, and friendly attitude. He was professional, kind, and easy to communicate with. I truly appreciated his excellent behaviour and positive personality. Highly recommended!

My partner and I found C-nurses to help care for his father who had a stroke about 4 years ago. It has been almost three months since we have had a registered nurse coming to our home in the evenings to help with care. In these short few months my father-in-law has had significant improvements with his strength, and overall wellbeing. I am able to help him get in and out of bed and also in and out of his wheel chair without any assistance which has been a huge blessing for us. The care has been consistently above and beyond what AHS provides through home care, and just in general. We don't have to worry about anything when c-nurses homecare is with him. Finding someone to take care of a loved one can be very intimidating, but this has been one of the best choices we could have made. The first day our nurse came to meet my FIL, he looked at his medication list and was very knowledgable about what meds he was taking, and what they are for. I would recommend c-nurses to anyone that needs help taking care of a loved one. You will not regret it, and your family will be well taken care of.

Our family found C-nurses to help with our father who had a stroke a few years ago, and had relocated to be closer to family. When Noor came to help out, we have seen great progress. There has been a focus on helping dad regain some lost mobility, coordination and stamina. Although it has only been 3 weeks, there is a noticeable difference in level of strength and coordination. Dad likes to swap stories, good conversation and it let's us have a bit of time back in the day knowing that he is being taken care of properly. The care offered is so much better than what happens with homecare through AHS, I am not worried about coming home and having dad parked in his wheelchair faxing a corner. Would recommend to anyone who has a loved one that they care about.

We reached out to CNurses HomeCare to help with my 80 year old father. Dad has some signs of dementia and needed assistance with daily activities around the house. He was reluctant to have a stranger in his home. The staff at CNurses HomeCare especially the Clinical Care Specialist Noor made an extra effort to get to know him and us well in advance of him needing care. The staff who came to assist dad were professional, compassionate and respectful of my dad’s choices. Dad was full of stories of their lives and said he always look forward to their visits. For peace of mind, I was able to take a few days off and relax knowing that dad was in great care of CNurses HomeCare. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for assistance to get in touch with CNurses HomeCare for quality care and engagement support.

Post-Operative Home Care Questions in Calgary

Non-medical help may include dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light household tasks, medication reminders and mobility assistance within your healthcare team's guidance. The exact tasks depend on your recovery instructions and agreed plan.

This page describes C-NURSES' non-medical support. Wound assessment and treatment, medication administration and changes to a prescription belong with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.

Contact the team before surgery if you know your discharge date and likely restrictions. If you are already home, share your needs and preferred start date so availability can be discussed.

Tell us what your discharge instructions say about having someone present and whether you need active help during the night. We can discuss overnight or longer care arrangements and their availability.

Follow your written discharge instructions and contact your healthcare team for concerns about symptoms, incision care or medicines. A caregiver can assist with day-to-day tasks within the agreed non-medical plan.

It may be useful for a short period or for longer while daily tasks remain difficult. We can discuss visit frequency and review the plan as you regain independence.
