Why Edmonton Families Choose Always Best Care After Surgery
- A team of caring professionals: Your care is overseen by a local, experienced team that understands Edmonton’s health system and works alongside your existing providers.
- Thoughtful caregiver matching: We match you with caregivers based on your support needs, schedule, preferences, and personality, to encourage comfort and continuity.
- Flexible scheduling: Start with a few hours per week or increase support as needed. Days, evenings, overnights, or 24-hour home care are available.
- Respect for your dignity: We provide just the right level of help so you stay safe and supported, yet as independent as possible.
Our Home Surgery Recovery Services
- Personal care and mobility support: Help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting while you heal. This includes safe transfers in and out of bed or chairs, and assistance using walkers or mobility equipment. We provide gentle support with home exercises as directed by your health team (non-therapy assistance).
- Medication and routine reminders: Prompts to take medications on time, as prescribed by your care providers. We offer encouragement to follow discharge instructions and recovery routines, including positioning, icing, and walking.
- Homemaking and meal support: Light housekeeping to keep pathways clear and your home safer during recovery. We handle simple meal planning and preparation to support hydration and nutrition, as well as laundry support when needed.
- Escort and errands: Accompaniment to follow-up medical appointments, tests, or rehab sessions, as well as help with grocery shopping and pharmacy pick-ups.
- Companionship and peace of mind: Conversation, reassurance, and emotional support during what can be a stressful time. Our caregivers offer a watchful, calming presence to help reduce the risk of falls and post-surgical complications between medical visits.
If family caregivers are providing most of the care, we can also step in with respite care so they can rest, work, or take a break, knowing their loved one is in capable hands.
24-Hour and Short-Term Recovery Care Options
We offer:
- Short-term, targeted support during the first critical weeks home from hospital or day surgery.
- Overnight care to provide assistance with toileting, transfers, or monitoring in the night.
- 24-hour home care when continuous support is needed for safety, complex routines, or high fall risk.
Your schedule can be adjusted as your strength and confidence grow, so you are not locked into more care than you need.
