Post-surgery nursing, at home.
The first 24 to 72 hours after discharge are when complications show up and questions pile up. A Texas-licensed Registered Nurse comes to your home to manage the wound, watch the vitals, keep the medications straight, and teach the family what to watch for.
What this covers
- Wound and drain care — Dressing changes, incision checks, drain output tracking, and early warning signs of infection.
- Vitals and pain management — Vital-sign monitoring and help keeping pain and nausea medication on schedule and understood.
- Mobility and safety — Safe movement, fall prevention around the home, and getting to that first follow-up appointment.
- Family teaching — The family learns exactly what to do, and what to call about, so no one is guessing at 2 a.m.
What a post-surgery visit includes
A typical visit runs about an hour: the nurse checks the incision and any drains, changes the dressing with sterile supplies, takes vitals, reviews every medication against the discharge list, walks you through safe movement, and documents it all. Waste and sharps leave with her. You get a plain-language summary of what is normal and what warrants a call.
How soon a nurse can start after discharge
Same-day post-discharge visits are often available across DFW, and same-week is routine. The ideal is to arrange care before your surgery date so a nurse is already scheduled for the day you get home. Kando confirms the plan, the cadence, and a single point of contact within 24 hours of your first call.
How we coordinate with your surgeon
Kando works under physician-supervised protocols and does not replace your surgical team. The nurse follows the discharge orders, flags anything that looks off, and relays concerns to the surgeon's office directly so you are not the one chasing a callback. Visit notes are available to share at your follow-up.

Can you coordinate with my surgeon's office?

Can I arrange care before my surgery date?
Yes, and it is the best way to do it. Booking ahead means a Registered Nurse is scheduled to meet you the day you get home, rather than scrambling after discharge. The free consultation can happen weeks in advance.
