RELAXING SURROUNDINGS.
Between the evening before apprehension and the morning of jitters, a plastic surgery procedure can be nerve wracking. I am readily accessible to assist you before your procedures, ensuring you arrive early and feel confident.
A solid recovery plan will be in effect, and you will be completely prepared for your surgery.
As part of my package, we will engage in multiple discussions and have a personalized plan in place. Being prepared will support a great recovery!
Upon completion of surgery in the hospital or surgical center, I will receive a report from surgery staff and will transport you to your recovery suite. All aspects of your recovery needs will be provided.
The most skilled surgeon can perform your surgery, but if you do not have a solid recovery plan, you could be at risk for complications and less than optimal results.
I am responsible for managing all dressing changes, drains, linen changes, daily bathing, and grooming. I take the initiative to educate the patient throughout their recovery journey, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to continue caring for the procedure even after our bedside care has concluded. I will continue to be available to the patient, providing communication and acting as a dependable resource.
I have the necessary skills to efficiently handle pain management and relieve nausea by employing medication, as well as implementing a holistic approach that involves deep breathing exercises, ambulation and movement, proper positioning, and the careful application of heat and cold compresses. I will ensure the monitoring of vital signs, the assessment of wounds and dressings, and if necessary, I will communicate with the surgeon. I will attend post-operative appointments and maintain open communication with the medical staff.
During your recovery, I am preparing nutritious meals that are high in protein and low in sodium as well as encouraging fluids. This powerful combination will effectively alleviate nausea and combat constipation. Ultimately, this will enhance your overall healing process.
You are covered with our top-notch concierge services!
I offer a wide range of “Custom Designed Packages” for different procedures and am available 24/7 to ensure you are taken care of. From hotel booking, to flight arrangements, prescription pick-up to hairstyling (with the surgeons approval). Manicures, pedicures, and even a relaxing massage! If you are in need of some IV hydration therapy, I have you covered there too. Transportation and communication with family or friends? Consider it done! Just sit back, Rejuvenate, Recalibrate, and Restore!
Elevate Wellness concierge nurse services will handle your pre-surgical preparation and optimal post-surgical recovery!

MORE ABOUT ME
"Michelle provides an invaluable service to my postoperative patients. She takes a comprehensive approach to guiding them through their recovery process. With her background in ICU and plastic surgery nursing, I feel confident that she can keep an eye out for any potential complications that require my attention, but also can use her skills to provide the best possible experience for the patient."

"We contracted for the services of Michelle Mefford of Elevate Wellness in order to have some professional assistance after my surgery. We knew we would have quality care from an experienced nurse but we had no idea we’d have so much more than that. The post operative care was knowledgeable, professional and exemplary. In addition, the care was just that…caring, compassionate and so very good-natured.
And, oh, can Michelle plan and prepare the right foods and drinks to help the patient along. She did not forget about my spouse either. She was concerned that he eat right and rest and she schooled him in the things he would need to do and help me with after she left our home.
This recommendation doesn’t begin to do justice to the wonderful experience we had with Michelle and Elevate Wellness.
We recommend Elevate Wellness highly and would use the service again."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Michele Mefford, RN of Elevate Wellness for one of our postoperative patients, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was not only calm and reassuring for the patient but also incredibly thorough and professional in hercare.
As a facial plastic surgeon, it’s vital to know that our patients are in safe hands during their recovery, and Michele exceeded every expectation. Her attention to detail and genuine compassion made a significant difference in our patient's experience.
I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for exceptional post-operative care."
Dr. Lauren Umstattd, Facial Plastic Surgeon
"Thank you, Michele! When I made the decision to undergo surgery, I knew that post op care would be an important component of my recovery.
I am so very thankful that I was able to have you by my side.
It was such a comfort to have you with me for moral support, for your skilled and professional care, and your warm, caring, and reassuring presence. Oh, and your cooking! Every meal you prepared was delicious and filled with essential nutrients for recovery. All your experience and preparation made my first week of recovery as stress free as could possibly be and set me up for a continued smooth recovery.
I cannot imagine doing it without you! You are
wonderful and I highly recommend you and Elevate Wellness RN."
