Short bowel syndrome is a health issue that occurs in older adults after they have had part of the bowel surgically removed. When you have SBS, you can’t absorb enough nutrients from the food you eat, which can lead to other health issues. Older adults who have undergone surgery to remove part of their small intestine need professional help to continue their life normally, and this is where we at In-Home Care California come in. Our goal is to have you back on track by maximizing the functioning of your now-shortened bowel. The path to recovery includes various treatments and nutrition therapies. At In-Home Care California, we specialize in helping patients through a personalized approach.
By working closely with our staff members, patients can be off of supplemental foods and back to their regular diet in no time. We are available in eight Southern California counties including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, Riverside, San Diego, Kern, and Santa Barbara county. For patients with short bowel syndrome, nutrition is essential for quick recovery. This is why our skilled aides are trained to assess patients’ needs and offer them the best program for their recovery.

When you contact one of our caregivers, there will be no obstacle that won’t be handled. Professionals hired by our agency are trained to work with patients with diverse needs. With most patients, the start of recovery revolves around nutrition.
