Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What types of surgery do you provide post-op care for?
A. We commonly support clients recovering from orthopaedic surgery (like hip or knee replacements), cardiac surgery, abdominal procedures, and more. Services are tailored to the individual’s condition and level of mobility.
Q. Can I book care before my operation?
A. Yes, we encourage clients to pre-book. This ensures care is in place immediately after discharge, when support is most crucial.
Q. How quickly can care begin after surgery?
A. If you are able to pre-book assessment before your surgery, this will allow us more time to prepare for the care package to begin when you are discharged. Alternatively, if you decided to have support last minute, we are able to come for a same day assessment after the initial contact. This is to ensure that we are able to start the care within 24 hours.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Exemplary support for me and my wife whilst I was rehabilitating after a total knee replacement. All the carers were very productive and flexible in what they did for us. Before the care started George brought each carer to the house to make sure we were all clear as to what was being asked. Visit times and frequency all agreed exactly. I have no hesitation in recommending Joyful Care for You.”
