Special Needs Adults

Special Care For Special Needs Adults

We understand that loved ones who depend upon others for daily living require special attention. The following tips, will help make care for these adults easier at The Surgery Center at Midlands Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery:

Consent

The legal guardian needs to sign the consent for surgery and anesthesia on or before the day of surgery.

For Admission

Please bring the patient’s recent health history and medication information.

Personal Attendant

As with other patients, special needs patients require a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult to remain at the center from admission through recovery. A personal attendant will be required to stay with the patient for 24 hours after discharge.
