Surgery Assistance & Sitter Services

No matter how much you might want to, it’s simply not possible to be there at every moment for your elderly family member as they recover from surgery. You have other responsibilities—a job, a family, a home, and personal interests—that demand your time and attention. Senior Helpers can be there when you can’t, providing peace of mind and trained non-medical assistance when your loved one needs it most. 

Our caregivers provide sitter services, watching over your loved one in the hospital or another medical facility. When you know we’re there to provide supplemental care and companionship, you can feel free to take a much-needed break or attend to other responsibilities. 

Services can typically be provided in the following facilities:

• Hospitals/Medical Facilities
• Nursing Homes
• Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC)
• Assisted Living Centres 
• Independent Living Facilities

We support your loved one with the goal of making their experience safer, less stressful, and more comfortable. Non-medical care and sitter services in these settings typically include:

• Staying with your loved one through the night
• Seeking assistance from hospital/facility staff as needed
• Documenting doctor visits
• Providing companionship and conversation
• Reading, games, puzzles, and other activities
• Assisting with feeding and personal hygiene
• Discharge and transportation assistance
• Running necessary errands

Benefits of Surgery Assistance and Sitter Services

When our local caregivers work in hospitals and other facilities, we do not interfere with the staff and their goals. We simply provide 24-hour support:

• Companionship and basic assistance for your loved one
• Peace of mind for you
• Access to "quick-start" home care services when your loved one is discharged from the facility

Get Started Today

After a surgery or hospital stay, recovery becomes the priority. Your loved one can often recover more quickly when they make it to their follow-up appointments and don’t have to worry about basic in-home tasks like meal preparation, cleaning, and more. They can simply rest, and we’ll provide the personalized assistance they need—whether that’s for a few hours each day or around-the-clock care.
