  2. Irrespective of the kind of surgery- a major one or a minor one, every individual needs post- operative rehabilitation. And if the person is of advanced age, then they are in need of more specialized care. Since seniors have fragile bones, less density of muscles, a disturbed sense of balance, lower metabolism and in some cases often little, restricted or no mobility, recovering becomes a huge challenge for them. There is a difference between pre and post operative care. While in pre operative phase, the preparation is mostly emotional, it can be on physical level too. For instance, a senior can have a bypass operation only if his diabetes level comes down. Thus, in pre operative phase, there can be medications, yoga, exercises and pain management therapies. Post operative phase, however, consists of a lots of stuff. If a senior is considering shift to any assisted living home for post operative care, it is better that he or she or the family members should inquire the same from representatives of the assisted living facility or they should visit the facility in person.

  3. If a senior is transferred to an assisted living facility right from the hospital within days after surgery or on the same day after surgery, then it is obvious that the senior needsimmediate post operative care. Such seniors need round the clock medical supervision. In premium assisted living apartments, the following services are offered – nurses and caregivers give medication on time, caregivers take the responsibility of feeding, keeping the patient hydrated, performing personal care chores, getting household chores done, helping with mobility, doctors visit daily or even multiple times a day depending on the physical needs of the patient, and more. Premium assisted living facilities that offer home care services in Gurgaonalso have partnerships with leading healthcare institutions like hospitals, pathological labs, ambulance, and even with specialized doctors. Thus if there is a medical emergency, the assisted living facility contacts ambulance for reaching the nearest hospital or path lab.

  4. Tie-up with Gurgaon’s leading hospitals means any senior can get admitted to best hospitals and access best healthcare services without any hassle on part of family members or friends on part of the senior patient. A few leading assisted living services got these supportive building features like – wheelchair friendly campus, soundproof rooms that leads to contentment and peace of mind while one recovers, anti-skid flooring in shower and washroom area for enhanced safety of patients, temperature –controlled rooms, security grab bars, emergency bells in bedroom and bathroom which the seniors can use to summon caregivers in case of any accidental fall or any kind of emergency. Well- ventilated, spacious rooms that let ample amount of daylight enter the room & elevate the mood of the ailing senior and play a major role in keeping away depression and despair.

  5. The best kind of post operative careincludes a complete sync between lifestyle preferences of the patient, requisites for recovery, management of the assisted living facility the seniors are staying at and more. The management of the assisted living facility also plays a major role by keeping the caregiving groups in a sync. To say elaborately, a doctor needs to stay updated about the medicines the patient is given by nurses, or the exercises that are prescribed by physiotherapists, as well as the personal caregiver needs to know the precautionary measure that needs to be taken for a particular senior resident. Effective management helps the teams render their services better and as a result, the assisted living services are able to offer better care to senior citizens.
