Outpatient / Day Surgery Services
From Outpatient Procedure to Home, PEAK Helps Make Recovery Safer
The first 24 hours after a procedure, surgery, or treatment can be an important part of recovery.
PEAK Medical Home Care provides post-procedure and day surgery support to help patients transition safely from the treatment facility back home.
Our CNAs and nurses can assist before, during, and after outpatient care, depending on the patient's needs and the requirements of the medical facility.
This service can be especially helpful for patients undergoing:
- Dialysis
- Colonoscopies
- Oncology treatments
- Outpatient or day surgery
- Dental surgery
- Other procedures that require transportation, monitoring, or assistance after discharge
Outpatient to Home Support
PEAK can help coordinate the transition from the medical facility back home so patients do not have to manage recovery alone.
Services can be arranged before or after a procedure and customized around the level of support needed.
How PEAK Can Help
Transportation To and From the Facility
PEAK can provide transportation to and from the treatment facility.
- Transportation to the appointment
- Transportation home after treatment
- No additional charge for transportation up to 25 miles
On-Site Support During Treatment
Some facilities require a responsible adult to remain on-site while a patient is undergoing a procedure. When required, PEAK can remain at the facility during treatment and be available when the patient is discharged.
Discharge Instructions and Important Information
After a procedure, patients may be tired, medicated, or overwhelmed by discharge instructions. PEAK can help by:
- Noting important information provided by the medical team
- Reviewing discharge orders
- Helping ensure instructions are available once the patient returns home
Prescription Pickup
PEAK can assist with picking up prescribed medications after treatment so the patient can return home and focus on recovery.
Vital Sign Monitoring
When appropriate, PEAK staff can monitor vital signs during the recovery period at home. Monitoring may include:
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Body temperature
- Other observations based on the patient's care needs
Nursing Care at Home
For patients who require skilled nursing care after an outpatient procedure, PEAK nurses can provide support in the comfort of home. Services may include:
- Bandage and dressing changes
- Wound care
- Medication administration
- Intravenous medication administration
- Monitoring recovery and changes in condition
Support During the First 24 Hours
The period immediately following a procedure can be challenging, especially for patients who live alone or whose family members are unable to remain with them.
PEAK can provide additional support during this recovery period to help patients follow discharge instructions, manage immediate care needs, and remain as comfortable and safe as possible at home.
Depending on the level of care needed, support may be provided by a Certified Nursing Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, or Registered Nurse.
Fully Customizable Around Your Procedure
Every procedure and recovery is different. PEAK's Outpatient to Home service can be customized based on:
- The type of procedure or treatment
- Facility requirements
- Transportation needs
- Whether someone must remain at the facility
- The level of assistance required at home
- Nursing needs after discharge
- The amount of time support is needed
Services can be arranged before or after surgery, either in person or by phone.
