The Recovery and Care You Deserve

Personalized Post-Operative Support

You've just come out of surgery, and while the hardest part might be behind you, the days ahead still feel uncertain. You are probably dealing with swelling, soreness, limited mobility, or the stress of managing drains and medication on your own. Maybe you're trying to be strong for your family while quietly wondering how you'll get through the first night, or week, without professional help. If you're here, you're likely searching for answers and support.

Recovery isn't just about rest. It's about being supported in a way that feels safe, compassionate, and expertly guided. That's what private nursing care offers: personalized, attentive care that meets you exactly where you are. At InHands Postoperative Therapy and Recovery, our mission is to take the burden off your shoulders, offering relief, expertise, and genuine care so you can focus on healing.

Healing, Without the Guesswork

What is Private Nursing Care?

Private nursing care is a highly personalized form of medical care delivered by licensed and trained caregivers, including registered nurses, in a one-on-one setting. These services are tailored to support recovery after surgery, injury, or illness, often in the patient's own home or a dedicated recovery suite like those at InHands. Our skilled nursing care includes:

  • Medication management to ensure safety and adherence to your recovery plan
  • Wound care and drain management, using hospital-grade techniques to reduce complications
  • Pain management and symptom monitoring, minimizing the need for narcotics whenever possible
  • Mobility assistance and help with daily activities of living, like bathing and dressing
  • Use of advanced therapies, such as LED light therapy, cryotherapy, and lymphatic massage

Whether you need help for a few hours, a few days, or longer, our services provide the kind of personalized care and attention that medical facilities and hospital settings can't always accommodate.

What Happens When You’re Truly Supported

Benefits of Private Nursing Care

Private nursing care offers far more than routine support. It delivers peace of mind. For many families in San Jose, this service allows patients to safely heal while surrounded by familiar faces, close friends, and loved ones.

  • Expert pain and nausea control: Our nurses use evidence-based techniques to ease discomfort while avoiding overreliance on opioids, supporting a safer recovery.
  • Enhanced wound and drain management: Reduces the risk of infection and ensures wounds heal properly with minimal scarring.
  • Faster mobilization: Trained caregivers assist with daily activities and mobility exercises to prevent complications like blood clots or stiffness.
  • Emotional support and education: We empower patients and families through ongoing education and reassurance.
  • Continuity of care: With our consistent, around-the-clock support, you never have to worry about coordinating multiple caregivers or healthcare providers.

Our care plans are tailored to your specific needs, and we collaborate with your entire medical team to deliver the best care possible.

Who This Helps Most

Am I a Candidate for Private Nursing Care?

Private nursing care is ideal for adults and seniors recovering from surgical procedures or managing complex medical conditions at home. You may benefit from this type of care if you:

  • Are undergoing cosmetic surgery, breast reconstruction, orthopedic procedures, or other outpatient surgeries
  • Have comorbidities (such as diabetes, hypertension, or limited mobility) that require skilled monitoring
  • Need palliative care or support for age-related medical conditions
  • Want in-home care services rather than staying in a medical facility
  • Prefer a nurse-led recovery plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle

Not recommended for: patients with acute, uncontrolled health conditions requiring hospitalization or those receiving full-time home health services through other agencies.

We Start With a Plan

Consultation and Preparation

Before your procedure, we invite you to schedule a personalized consultation with Heather Gavric and a member of our nursing team. This session includes:

  • A thorough health and medication review
  • Coordination with your surgical team to understand your situation
  • Planning for post-surgery care, including any specialized equipment or personal care needs

You'll also receive a checklist to help prepare your recovery space, whether you're staying in one of our luxurious recovery suites or healing in the comfort of your own home. We work with families to ensure every detail is covered.

Care That Fits Your Life

Our Private Nursing Care Service

Each care plan is customized to reflect your treatment, age, recovery goals, and health history. Typically, our private nursing care spans two to five days, but can be extended based on your condition. Services include:

  • Pre-op coordination: including communication with your healthcare provider or surgeon
  • Personalized care upon discharge: your nurse will meet you at the hospital or surgical center and ensure a smooth transition
  • Support with daily living: bathing, dressing, eating, and hygiene
  • Pain management and wound care: including surgical drains, bandage changes, and medication adjustments
  • Specialized care: such as post-lymph node dissection monitoring or care for older adults with dementia

All care is delivered in a warm, supportive environment, built to make patients feel safe, heard, and empowered.
