Extra Help at Home After a Hospital Stay or Surgery

Coming home can bring relief, but everyday tasks may still feel harder than usual. Lilly's provides non medical support with routines, meals, household tasks, transportation, and other practical needs while your family gets settled back at home.

Support at home. Not medical treatment.

Lilly's provides non medical home care. Caregivers do not provide skilled nursing, wound care, therapy, medical procedures, medication administration, rehabilitation, or clinical monitoring. Medical instructions and treatment should remain with the appropriate licensed healthcare professionals.

You may be recovering from the schedule too.

Hospital stays and surgery can disrupt the routine of the entire family. Adult children and spouses may suddenly be coordinating meals, transportation, household tasks, appointments, personal routines, work schedules, and family responsibilities. Lilly's can help with the non medical parts of the day so families can focus on being present.

Care does not always have to be permanent.

Some families need additional support during the transition home rather than indefinitely. Tell us what the first days and weeks look like, and we can talk through a schedule that fits this season of care.
