I was in a bind. I had outpatient surgery scheduled and my wife couldn't be there to pick me up. "No problem," I thought, I'll just call an Uber."
It turns out that surgery centers are serious about having someone with you for 24 hours after the procedure. The nurse told me I had until noon the next day to or they would cancel my surgery. I'd waited six months for this surgery, had debated about going through with it, and was a little anxious about it. I knew it was now or never.
I decided to hire a private duty nurse and Googled "in home care" for Lincoln I reached out to one that looked good. They got back to me right away and referred me to Connected Care Services.
Before I finished reading their email, Janell from Connected Care called me. She was great! She would pick me up, take me to where I was staying, pick up meds, and provide post op care until my wife could get there. She told me she is a surgical care nurse and a little about her business.
Long story short, I had my surgery. She picked me up, and provided me with excellent care. What an awesome service!!! read more
