The riskiest part of most operations is not the hour in theatre — it is the first week at home. In twelve years of nursing, almost every post-operative complication I have seen escalate did so because nobody was watching: a dressing left too long in this humidity, painkillers taken erratically, a patient who stayed in bed for five days straight. Our job is to be the trained eyes at your bedside after discharge from BIMC, Siloam, Kasih Ibu or any hospital on the island — following your surgeon's written plan, not improvising.
What's Included
Wound Monitoring & Dressings
Sterile dressing changes exactly per your surgeon's protocol, with photo documentation so the surgeon can review healing without you travelling to the clinic.
Medication & Pain Support
We organise the discharge medications, keep the schedule on track and administer prescribed injections — so pain control is steady, not chaotic.
Safe Mobility & Recovery
Help getting up, washing and moving safely, plus the early walks and breathing exercises your discharge notes call for — they support circulation and recovery.
Vitals & Red-Flag Watch
Temperature, blood pressure and wound checks at every visit. Anything concerning is reported to your surgeon the same day — early is everything.
Who Books Post-Surgery Care
Three groups, mostly. Medical travellers who came to Bali for orthopaedic, dental or cosmetic procedures and recover in a villa or hotel — we work discreetly and coordinate with the clinic that operated. Residents and expats coming home after surgery here or in Singapore, Bangkok or Australia. And older patients, where surgery recovery and elderly care overlap — for them we often combine recovery visits with ongoing elderly home care.
Most recoveries need daily visits for the first week, then every second day. Where the surgeon prescribes injections or IV medication, the same nurse handles them — see injections & IV at home. Once the wound allows, home physiotherapy rebuilds strength and range of motion. If you want to prepare before discharge, our step-by-step recovery guide covers what to set up at home.
How We Start
Contact us before discharge
Ideally 1–2 days before you leave hospital. Send your discharge summary or surgeon's instructions on WhatsApp — we plan visits around them.
Assessment on the first visit
The nurse reviews the wound, medications and your home setup, and confirms the visit schedule with you and, where needed, your surgeon.
Care plan follows the surgeon
Dressings, medication times, mobilisation targets and red-flag thresholds — everything is written down and follows the surgeon's plan exactly.
Visits taper as you heal
Daily at first, then less often as the wound closes and you regain independence. You keep the full visit log for your follow-up appointment.
Pricing
A recovery visit of up to two hours is from IDR 350,000; a focused dressing-change visit from IDR 300,000. If you need a nurse present through the day after a bigger operation, 12-hour shifts are from IDR 600,000, and short-term live-in care is available from a one-week trial.
