What makes post-operative care in the home more beneficial than using an outpatient facility?

Post-operative care would take place in your home where patients feel more comfortable, while being cared for based upon their unique needs. An outpatient facility would be a location that the patient would need to travel to in order to receive proper care. Being taken care of in your home is more convenient and puts less pressure on the patient typically.
