Short Term Pre- and Post-Procedure Care
At Assisting Hands® Dana Point, we understand that preparing for or recovering from a medical procedure can be challenging. Our South Orange County-based, state-licensed non-medical home care agency provides compassionate, short-term (4 Hour Minimum) caregiving services to help clients with the support they need during these times. Whether it’s ensuring safe transportation, assisting with mobility, or providing comfort and convenience post-procedure, our caregivers are trained and registered with the State of California to offer you dependable care every step of the way.
Examples of Pre- and Post-Procedure Services
Our services are designed to address the specific needs that arise before and after medical procedures. Here are some examples of how we can help:
Transportation Support: Safe, reliable transportation to and from the medical facility ensures clients arrive on time for their appointments and return home comfortably after the procedure. This can ease the stress of arranging rides and provide peace of mind for those without a loved one available to assist and can be especially important when rideshare and taxi services are not permitted upon discharge.
Mobility Assistance: For clients experiencing limited mobility after a procedure, our caregivers offer essential support in moving around the home safely, from assisting with transfers from bed to chair, to navigating stairs and other potential obstacles.

In-Home Meal Preparation: Nutrition is a vital part of recovery, and our caregivers can prepare nutritious meals tailored to dietary needs or restrictions. Freshly prepared meals, especially after a period of fasting, help to strengthen and support healing, and reduce the risk of complications, making meal prep a key part of our post-procedure care.
Medication Reminders and Follow-Through: Ensuring proper medication adherence is crucial after a procedure. Our caregivers can pick up prescriptions from the pharmacy and provide timely reminders and encourage adherence to non-medical post-procedure instructions, helping clients manage their recovery routines as prescribed by their healthcare provider.

When These Services Are Applicable
Our Pre- and Post-Procedure Services are ideal for clients who need temporary support before or after a medical procedure. These services are particularly beneficial for:
- Individuals Without Local Support: If a client doesn’t have nearby family or friends to assist, our caregivers step in to provide reliable, compassionate support.
- Clients Who Prefer Not to Burden Loved Ones: Many clients feel more comfortable receiving assistance from a trained professional rather than placing demands on family members, friends or neighbors. Our team is here to make the process seamless and stress-free.
- Seniors and Adults with Specific Recovery Needs: Whether it’s outpatient surgery, a complex treatment, or physical therapy following an injury, our caregivers are trained to help clients manage these transitions safely.
At Assisting Hands Dana Point, we’re committed to making every step of your journey more manageable, offering you and your family peace of mind during these crucial times. Contact us today to learn more about how our Pre- and Post-Procedure Services can be customized to meet your needs.
