Prior to having surgery, the ability of the patient to comply with instructions is paramount. Sometimes these instructions can be intimidating, especially to seniors who may be living alone, or who have little local support in the way of family or friends. Aviva understands this and has established processes to help the Bay Area’s elderly through these critical steps. Our team of experienced care professionals can help your loved one prepare for the surgery, and help close communication loops with the family, agency management, and healthcare practitioners.

With an Aviva Care Professional to assist your loved one during this time, we help reduce the stress of being hospitalized, and assure the client that he/she has someone looking out for them who is only a short drive away.

Many studies have shown that improved health outcomes result from a positive, stress-free environment. Additionally, research shows that healing cycles are reduced when patients are able to recuperate without major sources of tension and disruptions to the daily routine.

Many families are so relieved to know that their Bay Area relative is with a knowledgeable caregiver who knows the key components of the pre and post-surgical process, and knows that their client needs extra reassurance and comforting during this time.

Keep in mind that Aviva also has a Nurse Director and via our strategic business partner Honor, Escalation Nurses on staff, who provide key input to both our team and back to the client’s physicians when required.
