Step-down or home health post Whipple

Posted by jaxcharlotte @jaxcharlotte, May 25, 2023

Waiting to find out if I'll be having Whipple at Mayo Jax. I do not have a caregiver and am wondering if Mayo has a program for extended stay, step-down care and home health care until I can drive, lift, etc on my own.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Pancreatic Cancer Support Group.

Please let us know what you find out .My husband Whipple Surgery ix scheduled for August .They did mention a rehab after his hospital stay .Thank you Tracy .

Hello @jaxcharlotte. I wish I was more familiar with the Florida campus, but in Rochester, we have a service called Visiting Angles. We often give there information out to patients that need the same support that you are looking for. I see there is one in the Jacksonville area. It might be an option and they may be able to meet patients that are recovering in a hotel, if that is where you would be staying after surgery. Here is their website for branch that is located in the Jacksonville area.
