Why Choose a Private Duty Nurse Instead of a Free Standing Surgery Aftercare Center, a Family Member, or a Friend
After plastic surgery, you are going to need help. You might need help for the first 24 hours or your surgery may be more intensive and you will need help for a week. Who do you call for your aftercare needs after plastic surgery in California? Some people ask a friend or family member, some use a free standing surgery aftercare center, but choosing a private duty nurse for your aftercare needs is your best option.
Experienced Nurses
Private duty nurses are qualified to take care of patients. They are certified nurses who are professionals who went to school to learn how to take care of patients post-op and have many years of experience doing so in the field. Private duty nurses are trained to change dressings, administer medications, and take vitals to ensure you receive the safest recovery possible. They know when to call a doctor if they see any signs or symptoms that are concerning. Private duty nurses can even go to any post operative appointments with you and help translate any confusing medical terminology the doctor’s may use. Since our private duty nurses went to nursing school and have made a career out of taking care of patients, they know warning signs to look out for that your loved ones taking care of you may miss.
Personal, individualized care
While freestanding surgery aftercare centers have qualified staff to take care of you, they do so in a very different environment. Many surgery aftercare centers have multiple aftercare nurses working with multiple patients,and your needs may not always be the number one priority. With private duty nurses, you will get personal, individualized care. Our private duty nurses take care of you in a 1 on 1 environment and your needs are first and foremost– they are not competing with other patients who may have a more pressing need.
Privacy
Private duty nurses bring the comfort and ease of family care all with the experience and abilities to take care of you like qualified freestanding surgery centers do. When you book a private duty nurse for your aftercare needs after surgery, you can choose to be taken care of in your own home, an Airbnb, or even a hotel room. You can completely focus on healing without being surrounded by a ton of other people, and you also can go through your procedure and healing process in complete privacy if you wish. We understand that some of our patients do not want to tell their friends or families about surgery for one reason or another. You should not have to trade in comfort for privacy. Enjoy your privacy in the comfort of your own home, Airbnb, or hotel after surgery with a private duty nurse.
It’s Easier
While you may be comfortable with a friend or family member taking care of you after surgery, there are other things to consider when evaluating how feasible this is for you both. Maybe you have kids or your friend or family member has to work. If your friend or family member is taking care of you, it is likely that they are missing work or will have to find someone to watch the kids. When you book with a private care aftercare nurse, you can free up your friends and family members to help take care of other aspects of your life (like the kids) or allow them to continue working. Once your plastic surgery has healed, maybe you will want to go on a fun trip or vacation to show off the new you. Don’t waste your friend’s PTO taking care of you! Let us help take care of you– it’s easier for everybody.
Looking out for any Post-Op Complications
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. While we hope you don’t have any post-op complications, they do happen even when working with the best surgeons. You should have someone qualified to take care of you if something is to come up after surgery. Private duty nurses are trained medical professionals who know what to do and who to call in any emergency post-op complications. Don’t put your safety up to chance– trust an experienced private duty nurse to take care of you.
Private duty nurses are the best of both worlds when talking about your aftercare needs after plastic surgery. With a private duty nurse, you get the professional experience and qualifications of nurses in a surgery aftercare center, but you also receive the 1 on 1 attention, privacy, and comfort you would get by choosing a family or friend to take care of you. You deserve the best. Don’t put your aftercare needs in the hands of someone who is not qualified to take care of you or sacrifice other things that are important to you like privacy and comfort.
