The first few weeks after a hospital stay or surgery are tiring. Discharge instructions pile up, the fridge is empty and even small chores feel big. Family often jumps in, then has to get back to work.
Our companions help bridge those first weeks. We handle meals, laundry and tidying, keep your loved one company, and keep the day calm so they can rest and follow their doctor's plan. We do not provide medical or hands-on personal care; we make home an easier place to recover.
What's included
- Stocking the kitchen and preparing simple, fresh meals
- Laundry, fresh linens and a tidy home
- Company and encouragement during recovery
- Keeping appointments and routines written down for the family
- Short-term schedules that step down as your loved one recovers
- Overnight companionship for the first nights, if needed
Who it's for
- Parents coming home after surgery or a hospital stay
- Families who can't take weeks off work
- Older adults who live alone
- Anyone who wants recovery at home to go smoothly
How visits work
Call us before discharge if you can, so there is time for a home visit and a plan for the first day home. This service is usually needed for a few weeks, then reduced or stopped.
Every Bradley companion is background-checked, reference-checked and insured, and one of the owners meets your family in person before care begins. There is no long-term contract; you can change hours or pause at any time.
Questions about help after a hospital stay
Can you start the day my parent comes home?
The more notice we have, the better; call us as soon as you have a discharge date.
Do you help with wound care or medications?
No. Those need a licensed nurse or home health agency. We handle the household side of recovery.
Is there a minimum length?
No long-term contract. Use us for as long as it helps.
