Recovery after surgery shouldn’t mean worrying about managing alone. Whether you’ve had cosmetic surgery, a common medical procedure, or a more complex operation, getting home to Miami Beach is just the beginning of healing. That’s where Preferred Care at Home steps in. We provide compassionate post surgery in home care to support your recovery needs every step of the way.
Preferred Care at Home has been helping patients recover safely at home since 1984. Post-operative care requires more than just medical support. It demands compassion, reliability, and caregivers who truly understand your recovery needs. Every caregiver undergoes our rigorous 7-step screening process, ensuring you receive quality care from certified professionals.
What sets our surgery recovery services apart is our commitment to matching caregivers to clients based on personality and experience, not just availability. We develop a customized care plan tailored to your specific procedure, medications, and healing process. Our dedicated team treats each patient with the dignity and comfort they deserve during this critical recovery period.
We offer comprehensive in-home care services designed specifically to support your recovery process. Whether you need help for a few hours a day or around-the-clock support, our team creates a personalized care plan that addresses your unique situation.
After any surgery, the first weeks at home are critical. Our post-operative care services in Miami Beach provide the careful monitoring you need during this vulnerable healing process. Whether you’ve undergone cosmetic surgery or a major medical procedure, our caregivers watch for complications, track your progress, and ensure you’re following your medical team’s protocols.
We understand that post surgery recovery isn’t just about physical healing. It’s about peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Our compassionate care team checks vital signs, monitors incision sites, watches for signs of infection or complications, and communicates with your medical professionals. You can focus on healing while we handle the details.
Surgery often leaves patients with limited mobility and strength. Our personal care services help Miami Beach clients with bathing, dressing, transferring, and other activities of daily living during recovery. A certified nursing assistant or experienced home health aide provides gentle assistance that respects your dignity while keeping you safe and comfortable.
From help getting in and out of bed to assistance with personal hygiene, our caregivers are trained in post operative care techniques. We adapt our support to your changing needs as you regain strength. Many patients worry about being a burden on family. Our services give loved ones peace of mind while ensuring you receive professional, consistent care throughout your recovery needs.
Following post surgery medication schedules and doctor’s orders can be overwhelming. Our caregivers ensure you take the right medications at the right times, help you manage pain safely, and support your body’s healing process with proper nutrition and hydration. We create reminders, organize prescriptions, and monitor for any adverse reactions or side effects.
Meaningful recovery requires creating an environment where healing can happen. Our team helps you maintain the schedule your medical team prescribed, ensures you’re getting adequate nutrients and rest, and watches for warning signs that might require medical attention. This comprehensive approach to care helps prevent complications and supports a smooth recovery process.
Post surgery care doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. You’ll likely need transportation to follow-up appointments, physical therapy sessions, or occupational therapy. Our Miami Beach caregivers provide safe transportation services and accompany you to medical appointments, taking notes and asking questions so you don’t have to worry about remembering everything your doctor says.
We coordinate with your healthcare schedule, ensuring you never miss a critical follow-up visit. Whether it’s removing stitches, checking healing progress, or attending rehabilitation sessions, our dedicated team makes sure you get where you need to be. Family members living far away appreciate knowing their loved one has reliable support and transportation during recovery.
For more complex medical needs after surgery, our skilled care services provide licensed nursing support in your own home. This includes wound care, catheter management, tube feeding assistance, and in-home medical assessments. Our licensed nurses work alongside your medical team to ensure your clinical needs are met while you recover in familiar surroundings. You get professional medical expertise without the institutional feel of a facility.

Factors affecting cost include whether you need a certified nursing assistant versus a companion caregiver, the complexity of post operative care, and hours of service needed daily. We offer free consultations to assess your surgery recovery needs and provide transparent pricing. Many clients find that our home health care is more affordable than extended hospital stays or rehabilitation facilities.
We’ve been serving families since 1984, with over 40 years of experience in post-operative care and surgery recovery. Every caregiver undergoes our rigorous 7-step screening process, including background checks, skills assessments, and personality evaluations. Unlike many home health care agencies, we match caregivers to clients based on compatibility and experience with specific procedures, not just availability. Our Transparency Room technology also lets family members monitor care remotely, providing peace of mind for loved ones living in other cities.
It depends on your medical team’s requirements and the complexity of your postoperative care needs. A certified nursing assistant (CNA) has more medical training and can handle wound care, catheter management, and complex medication schedules. A home health aide focuses on personal care, companionship, and daily assistance. For most common medical procedures and cosmetic surgery, either professional can provide excellent support. We’ll assess your customized care plan during consultation and recommend the appropriate level of expertise.
Most post-surgery patients need intensive home health care for 2-6 weeks, though this varies significantly by procedure type and individual healing process. Minor procedures might require just a few weeks of assistance, while major surgeries could need months of support. We create a customized care plan that adapts as you regain strength and independence. Our caregivers start with more intensive support immediately post-operative and gradually reduce hours as your recovery progresses and you develop confidence in managing activities independently.
If you’re noticing difficulty managing medications, struggling with bathing or mobility, or feeling uncertain about following your medical team’s instructions, professional support can make a critical difference. Post-surgery care is critical if you live alone, have limited family support nearby, or have undergone a major procedure requiring careful monitoring. Most patients who’ve had surgery worry about burdening loved ones or risking complications by trying to manage independently. An initial consultation helps determine what level of assistance would support your safe, comfortable recovery.
Yes. While our surgery recovery services focus on the critical post-operative period, we understand that some patients develop ongoing care needs or chronic conditions requiring continued support. We can adjust your care plan to provide long-term personal care, Companion and Homemaker Care, or homemaker services as needed. Many clients appreciate maintaining a relationship with their caregiver even after surgery recovery, especially if they’re elderly or have other health circumstances requiring assistance.
Our caregivers can assist with and supervise exercises prescribed by your physical therapy or occupational therapy team, ensuring you perform them safely and consistently. While we don’t replace licensed therapists, we support your rehabilitation by encouraging regular practice of prescribed exercises, helping with proper positioning, and monitoring for pain or difficulty. This consistent support between formal therapy sessions helps accelerate your healing process and prevents setbacks caused by skipped exercises or improper technique.
Our caregivers are trained to recognize warning signs of post-surgery complications, including infection, excessive pain, fever, or unusual symptoms. We maintain 24-hour availability and direct communication with your medical team. If concerning symptoms develop, we contact your doctor immediately and, if necessary, arrange emergency transportation. This constant monitoring provides safety and peace of mind during the critical weeks when complications are most likely to occur. Family members receive immediate updates about any concerns or changes in condition.
Absolutely. Many Miami Beach clients choose us for post-operative care after cosmetic procedures, including facelifts, breast augmentation, liposuction, and other treatments. We understand the unique needs and privacy concerns of cosmetic surgery patients. Our caregivers provide discreet, professional support with drainage management, compression garment assistance, gentle mobility support, and medication management. We help you follow your surgeon’s specific protocols while ensuring a comfortable, dignified recovery in your own home.
In most circumstances, we can begin post-surgery home care within 24-48 hours of your initial contact, often even faster for urgent situations. We understand that surgery discharges can happen quickly, and hospitals may release patients sooner than families expect. If you’re scheduled for an upcoming procedure, we recommend contacting us at least one week before your surgery date to ensure your customized care plan and caregiver matching are complete before you return home to Miami Beach.
