ESSENTIAL RECOVERY PACKAGE

Starting at $795 / Day
8-Hour Recovery Support

Provided by: Caregiver ($795) or LVN ($1,095)
Client Rate: $100/hour caregiver, $135/hour LVN

The Essential Recovery Package can be delivered by either a trained caregiver or a licensed vocational nurse, depending on your recovery needs.

  • A caregiver is ideal if you need non-medical support — such as hygiene assistance, mobility help, light meals, and companionship.

  • An LVN is recommended if your care involves clinical needs like medication reminders, drain monitoring, or vital sign checks.

    The Essential Recovery Package is perfect for clients who:

  • Clients who need moderate hands-on care

  • Post-op clients with drains or early wound healing needs

  • Those without nearby support who require longer recovery assistance

    • All services in Basic Package, plus:

    • 8 hours of continuous care

    • Drain monitoring & light wound observation

    • Compression garment assistance

    • Medication reminders

    • Vital signs (if LVN)

    • Prescription administration (LVN only reminds)

    • Supplies, garments, food, or meds (client-provided)

    • Advanced clinical assessments

    Clients are responsible for providing all supplies. Our team is happy to assist with setup and restocking during your visit.

  • • Extra hours of care ($100 caregiver / $135 LVN)

    • Pre-op supply shopping & recovery setup ($150+)

    • Private driver to/from surgery ($150+)

    • Lymphatic massage booking & coordination**

    • IV hydration therapy scheduling**

    • Post-op meal or grocery delivery coordination**

    **While we handle the booking and coordination of services like lymphatic massage, IV therapy, and post-op meals, the cost of the service itself (e.g., therapist, IV provider, food delivery) is billed separately by the vendor. Her Recovery Co. may charge a coordination or concierge fee (usually starting at $50–$150) for handling the logistics, depending on the add-on and complexity.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Your 8-hour Essential Recovery visit is designed to offer more comprehensive, hands-on support — including light clinical observation — so you can feel safe, supported, and cared for throughout your healing.

Here’s what a typical 8-hour Essential Recovery visit looks like:

Arrival & Check-In

  • Your caregiver or nurse arrives on time, reviews your recovery setup, and checks in with you.

  • We ensure you're comfortable, calm, and fully supported before beginning care.

Personal Hygiene & Mobility Support

  • Assistance with bathing or sponge cleansing, oral care, and toileting

  • Help with compression garment changes and wound garment checks

  • Safe repositioning and guided movement to support circulation and reduce stiffness

Meal & Hydration Assistance

  • Light, post-op meal prep using your available groceries

  • Hydration encouragement and setup of drinks/snacks for later

  • Ensuring you’re nourished, comfortable, and safely seated/reclined

Home or Hotel Tidying

  • Trash removal, bed-making, linen changes

  • Restocking supplies within reach

  • Organizing your care area to reduce movement and strain

Emotional Reassurance & Support
