Hospital to Home Transition & Surgery Recovery
Safe, Smooth Recovery — Right at Home
Safe, Smooth Recovery — Right at Home
The first few days after a hospital or rehab stay are the most vulnerable. Without help, many older adults struggle with mobility, medication reminders, meals, and fatigue — all of which can slow healing or even lead to readmission.
Always Responsive Home Care provides private-duty, non-medical home-care assistance that helps clients recover safely and comfortably at home after surgery, illness, or rehabilitation.
Families searching for "hospital-to-home care near me", "surgery recovery home care", or "trusted home care provider near me" choose us because we bring the perfect blend of professional reliability and family-level compassion.
A Founder-Led Commitment to Safe Recovery
Our founder, Teresa Sajkowski, RN, brings more than 20 years of geriatric and clinical experience to the way we design our recovery programs. Teresa saw countless patients succeed — or struggle — depending on the support waiting at home.
"Discharge is only the beginning. The right home-care plan keeps healing on track, prevents falls, and gives families confidence."
That insight shapes our caregivers' training and our company culture: responsive, proactive, and focused on preventing setbacks through attentive private-duty care.
How We Help After Hospital, Rehab or Surgery
Our caregivers bridge the gap between medical discharge instructions and daily living needs by providing:
Safe transportation home and help settling in
Personal care assistance – bathing, dressing, mobility, toileting
Medication reminders (non-medical) & schedule support
Meal preparation, hydration, and nutrition awareness
Fall prevention & home safety setup
Light housekeeping and laundry
Reinforcement of therapy or exercise routines (as guided by clinicians)
24-hour or long-hour supervision during the initial recovery period
Everything we do is customized to your loved one's condition, routines, and pace of healing.

Hands-On Training

This structured process guarantees safe, consistent, and compassionate care — from the very first day home.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Testimonial: After my knee replacement surgery, I was nervous about going home. Always Responsive Home Care arranged a wonderful caregiver who started the very next day. She helped me with everything — getting in and out of bed, preparing meals, keeping up with my medications, and even driving me to follow-up appointments. I recovered faster and safer than I ever could have alone. We're so grateful for their professionalism and kindness.
