Our Range of Services
End of Life Care
A key factor which was established in 2008 was the belief that people should have the choice to spend their time at home surrounded by family and familiarity. End of life care in the home is a service that is in increasing demand due to the ability of the care to be specifically tailored to each client’s needs. You can take great pride in providing end of life care and it is very satisfying to know that you have enabled someone to remain at home towards the end of their life.
Night Care
Support at night can be a hard thing to find. It seems that very few companies provide this service but there is a market for it. There are different types of night care that are affected by the client’s level of need. Sleep-in care require a carer to sleep at the client’s property overnight but they can be disturbed during the night for a short duration of time on no more than 2 occasions. An alternative is wake-in care that requires the carer to be awake throughout the night. This would usually only be required by a client with extensive needs.
Live-in Care – Short term and Long term
Live-in care is essential for those who need 24 hour support but want to stay at home rather than moving into residential or nursing care. We provide personalised, tailored Live-in care to suit the needs, wishes and desired outcomes of the client and their family. Live-in care can come in all shapes and sizes, but the most important thing to remember is that you can tailor the service to suit the client’s needs.
Dementia Alzheimers Care
Dementia is a condition that is becoming more and more common, and since we were established in 2008 we have provided a range of support tailor made for those affected by Dementia. Our Dementia and Alzheimer’s care services offers a tailored support package to those affected by these conditions. Our care assessments, staff training and customer support are designed to support those with the early stage of Dementia and those with severe Dementia.
Care for Children
Providing care for children can arise for a number of reasons. The parent may be recovering from an operation or illness, the child may have an illness of their own, or the child may not have family of their own. Post-Operative provides services that care for, support and protect children. The overall aim of our care for children services is to provide all children with the support and opportunities that all children deserve. Working with children is very rewarding and it is a real achievement when a child finds their voice and independence.
Rehabilitation Care
Post-Operative – to provide care and support for people following a discharge from hospital, typically after an operation or illness. Most of our clients will leave hospital after having an operation and need someone with them to provide a wide range of care services until they recover and are able to support themselves. Rehabilitation care is a service that allows people to be able to return home rather than being transferred to a residential/nursing home or stay in hospital.
Physical Disabilities Care
Post-Operative provides a tailored service for our clients with physical disabilities to support our clients in their daily lives. The service we provide for our clients with physical disabilities goes one step further than our competitors. The care service is specially tailored for the individual but furthermore we provide a full evaluation of your home free of charge. This evaluation can be supported by a separate occupational therapy assessment, and we will work with you to help you source equipment or adapt your home.

This service is also ideal for people who work and want the peace of mind that their pets will be walked, fed, toileted and generally checked upon whilst they are away from their property.

Our Brand
Most of our clients will leave hospital after having an operation and need someone with them to provide a wide range of care services until they recover and are able to support themselves. Rehabilitation care is a service that allows people to be able to return home rather than being transferred to a residential/nursing home or stay in hospital.
Homecare is one of the biggest growth sectors in the world. The market is growing as a result of increasing life expectancy – many of our Senior Citizens now reach the age of 100 and most people wish to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. We have an aging population with an increasing care requirement due to physical problems associated with old age but there is also demand for additional specialist care needs for people with conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s and terminally ill patients.
There is a strong desire from all local authorities, voluntary groups, individuals and families for older people to continue living in their own homes for as long as possible.The key indicators show that demand will increase for care, and supply must increase to meet that demand.
This is a business that revolves around the people. Broadly speaking, our services fall into two categories. These are Home Care services and Supported Living.
In the areas that we work in we are renowned for the quality of the care that we provide. All care companies should aim to deliver good quality care – we aim to deliver excellent quality care!
