Recovery from surgery can be a challenging experience, but with our exceptional post-operative care services, we can help facilitate comfort and convenience at home.
After an operation, every individual journey to recovery is unique. Most of us can’t wait to leave the hospital and return to the comfort of our homes.
Draycott’s post-operative care service can begin with a smooth transition from hospital to home. Your initial assessment with us can be carried out in the hospital with a fully detailed handover from the ward.
Our dedicated nurses or carers can then accompany you safely directly after surgery. We offer personalised care from the comfort of your own home or at the hotel of your choice in London.

The advantage of choosing Draycott as an alternative to inpatient recovery in hospital, is that we provide a one-to-one service.

Our post-operative at-home care services include:
Registered Nurses
Wound Care

Our dedicated team of nurses and carers play a vital role in enabling clients to maintain their independence and quality of life whilst in the comfort of their own home and our home-care services are expertly tailored to our clients’ individual needs.
The first step if you need home care is to arrange a visit by a member of our nurse liaison team.

When choosing a home care company, it is important to take into consideration several factors, all of which we are proud to provide at Draycott:
• Does the agency directly employ their nurses and carers, or do they use freelance agency staff?
• Is care and support available 24-hours a day, 7-days a week?
• Does the agency provide just care or both nursing and care? Carers are not authorised to carry out some medical procedures that Registered Nurses are.
• Is the company ISO registered and inspected by the Care Quality Commission?
• Is the care plan on offer individually tailored to your needs?
• Is the quality of care monitored and are improvements in health outcomes measured?
