subject: Recovery Room [print this page] Not many people enjoy long hospital staysNot many people enjoy long hospital stays. As a result, many post-op patients have looked to other options to recover after intensive surgery. Recovery centers are gaining notoriety among many elderly patients who want a more comfortable, private and enjoyable experience while they heal.
Recovery centers provide everything from assistance with daily tasks to rehabilitation and therapy. Similar to personalized post-op care, recovery centers will provide cooking, laundry and cleaning assistance. Some recovery centers have been going above and beyond to engage their patients in fun activities.
Freedom Home Health, a Central Ohio based home health care provider responded to the increasing need for recovery centers for the elderly by creating "The Recovery Room." They felt that making post-op care more fun for patients helps speed their recovery.
According to Kimberly Payne, Partner at Freedom Home Health, "By designing our program to allow safe recuperation in a clinical environment, while enjoying the services and amenities of a spa retreat, has yielded quicker patient recoveries."
Freedom Home Health is also the only home health agency nationwide to partner with a Geriatric Residency Program, in conjunction with The Ohio State University. With this partnership and a staff of highly trained therapists and nurses, there is very strong support system for every patient.
"Though all of our services, we ensure our patients are receiving the best care possible," Payne said. Outfitted with 24-hour nursing, a movie theater, fitness center, salon and transportation, Freedom Home Health is leading the way in recovery center programs.
