Facing a Major Medical Procedure? Your Home Can Be a Haven for Healing


Consider a major medical procedure, such as a knee replacement or cancer treatment. Even before the process itself, there's the stress of getting the house ready. Rearranging furniture to make movement easier, organizing overflowing drawers, and making sure medications and your favourite mug are within reach in the kitchen can be overwhelming. This is especially true if you have limited mobility. It can be stressful to have to bend down to reach things in lower cabinets or move bulky furniture.


A professional organizer can help you transform your home from a potential hazard zone into a healing space. Prepare your home to be safe and free of clutter during pre-surgery home preparation. It will be easier to get your strength and mobility back. This way, you won't have to worry about tripping over hazards or straining to reach things you need.



Conquering the Challenges of Pre-Surgery Home Preparation


Facing a major medical procedure can be stressful enough. Getting your home ready adds another layer of challenge, for a few reasons:

Overcoming Physical Limitations During Pre-Surgery Home Prep

Moving furniture, lifting boxes, or bending over can be challenging, especially if you have a pre-existing condition.
