We offer a variety of specialist care services across London from housekeeping and companionship to live-in care and night care.

Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
If you're due to be admitted to hospital for an operation or physical procedure and are likely to require some degree of postoperative care, please get in touch with us. Our expert team of postoperative carers works across London to support recently discharged hospital patients with their recovery.
We know how important it is for patients to take it easy following a hospital stay. We're also aware that people's postoperative care needs vary and that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. The type of procedure patients have had, their health history, and general well-being all play a part in determining the nature and scope of their postoperative care.
Whether you just need someone to get you home safely, want assistance with household tasks while you recuperate, or require longer-term help with pain management and physiotherapy, our care professionals are here. We'll work closely with your medical team to develop a tailored care plan, built around your recovery needs and medical conditions.
With our personalised support in place, you can focus on making a full and comfortable recovery.
Following an operation, patients who don’t have access to adequate aftercare and support are required to remain within the care of the NHS, even if they have been deemed eligible for discharge. Such ‘bed blocking’ not only costs the NHS but can cost the patient too, with healthy patients contracting illnesses due to delayed discharge. If you live alone and don’t have friends and family nearby that can pick you up from the hospital and get you settled in at home, we can help. Our reliable and experienced carers can help you get from the hospital to the comfort of your own home quickly and safely.

Post operative pain can last from a few days to several weeks and dealing with it can sap one’s energy and lead to increased levels of anxiety and depression. Add to this, the pressure of keeping on top of everyday tasks and pain management at home can become a real challenge. Our care assistants recognise this and can undertake tasks that you find taxing or uncomfortable, such as shopping, cleaning, meal preparation and even administering medication. With the daily household chores taken care of, you can focus on resting up and relieving your pain.
Our carers will be on hand to help you complete any post operative care tasks that your surgeon or doctor has assigned to you and support you with any physiotherapy exercises you’ve been asked to do. With your post discharge recommendations covered, you’re more likely to make a swift recovery and avoid any unnecessary return trips to the hospital.
Are you keen to get out and about and keep active after your operation, but are worried you might have a fall? Rest assured, if you’re a bit unsteady on your feet, our carers are trained to help you move about your home safely. We can accompany you on walks to the local shops or the park or if you’d prefer to just do some gentle exercises at home, our carers are more than happy to supervise these. Whatever your mobility needs, our carers are on hand to help until your confidence returns and you’re able to move about independently.

"Seeing patients happy after hospital discharge makes my work incredibly rewarding. Countless times, they’ve told me that without my support, their stay would have been much longer. The care I provide gives medical professionals the confidence to transition patients home safely. It is moments like these that truly demonstrate how much the right medical support and compassionate care matter."
Our Post Operative Care is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Postoperative care, also known as convalescent care, is professional support provided to a patient after a surgery or another medical procedure. It may begin in hospital and continue at home following discharge. The type of postoperative care required depends on the patient’s condition and health needs and the recommendations of their doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare professionals. Our postoperative home care is designed to ease discomfort and support both your physical and emotional recovery.
Postoperative care is key to ensuring a patient recovers from their procedure quickly, fully, and without post-surgical complications such as infection. Postoperative care at home, delivered by a specialist care team, enables patients to focus solely on their recovery rather than worrying about everyday household tasks.
The types of postoperative care a patient receives depend entirely on the procedure they’ve had and how well they’ve come through it. Care may simply involve help with cooking, cleaning, and shopping, or it may include assistance with personal care and medication schedules. Our post surgery care is delivered alongside the nursing care provided by district nurses, specialist nurses who visit your home to help with wound care, dressings, injections, and pain management.
Care can be delivered as soon as a patient is discharged from the hospital. We can undertake an immediate risk assessment and have a carer in place within 24 hours. We can even collect the patient from the hospital or recovery room and have a meal ready for them as they come through the door. We’ll communicate with the medical staff at your hospital to understand your care plan and ensure you receive the right support once home.
To arrange postoperative care, give us a call at 020 8102 8628. The sooner you reach out to arrange care, the better. We recommend contacting us at least two weeks before your planned hospital discharge, but if that's not possible, we can also arrange last-minute emergency care.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
