Recovering from surgery is a journey — and at Canyon Home Care & Hospice, we’re here to make sure that journey is safe, comfortable, and supported every step of the way. With expert home health services tailored to individual needs, our team helps patients heal where they feel most at ease: at home.
Why Post-Surgical Home Health Care Matters
After hospital discharge, patients often need continued care to manage pain, prevent complications, and regain strength. Home health allows for a personalized recovery plan under the supervision of skilled healthcare professionals — all without the stress of frequent clinic visits.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), home health services can improve outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions when patients receive coordinated care and education after surgery [1].

When Is Home Health Right After Surgery?
Home health is typically appropriate if:
You’ve recently had orthopedic surgery (hip/knee replacement, spinal surgery)
You’ve had cardiac surgery or a major abdominal procedure
You need skilled nursing to manage drains, wounds, or medications
You’re not yet able to travel easily to outpatient therapy or appointments
A doctor must authorize home health services, but Canyon’s team can help guide you through the referral process.
