What Are Illness and Injury Recovery Services?
Recovering from an illness, surgery, medical procedures, or injury isn’t always a straightforward process. In some cases, it might take weeks or months until you feel like yourself again. We provide practical support that helps speed recovery, build confidence, and reinforce safe daily habits. From running errands, taking care of the house, cooking meals — all the little demands of life take energy and strength that you might not have as you focus on recovery.
Injury recovery services provide non-medical support for people recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or hospitalization. These services help individuals safely transition from hospital to home while receiving the assistance they need during recovery. Injury recovery caregivers are trained to handle housekeeping, cooking, and other routine tasks, so you can put all your energy towards healing. This reduces complications and hospital readmission, helping protect your overall well-being.

What Our Clients Say
Words cannot express my gratitude to the staff and caregivers at Alegre Home Care. My Aunt was reluctant and refusing care. Alegre assembled the best team of caregivers to see her through to the end of her life and allowed her to remain at home.
The caregivers from Alegre are exceptional. They treated my mother with such dignity and respect. We felt confident knowing she was in good hands every single day.
I am so grateful for the compassionate care my father received. The team at Alegre made his final months comfortable and peaceful. Their LGBT-inclusive approach meant everything to our family.
