Recovery is a team sport. After surgery or serious illness, we combine everything recovery needs — wound checks, medication support, personal care and rehabilitation — into one plan with one team, stepping the support down as your strength comes back.
Is this right for me?
You're recovering at home after an operation
You need wound care and medication support post-surgery
You want physiotherapy to rebuild strength and mobility
A relative needs help regaining independence after surgery
Important — this is not an emergency service
This is not an emergency service. If the patient has severe difficulty breathing, severe chest pain, is unconscious, has signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech), severe bleeding or is seriously unwell, call 999 immediately.

After your visit
As you recover, support steps down and independence steps up. A GP oversees the plan, and — with consent — your NHS GP and surgical team are kept informed.
We provide this service across Lurgan, Craigavon and surrounding areas. Some surrounding locations may be available depending on the service, travel requirements and clinician availability.
Not sure if we cover your area? Call 028 9621 1981 with your postcode and our team will check — or see Areas we cover.
Booking for someone else?
Yes — a family member, carer or authorised representative can contact us to arrange this for a patient, provided the patient consents. Many of our bookings are made by a son or daughter for a parent.
