The first nights of recovery, in expert hands.
One-on-one post-surgical care from a California-licensed registered nurse — in your resort suite, villa, or home along the Orange County coast. PACU-level monitoring, care directed by your surgeon, and complete discretion, so the only thing you have to do is rest.
Recovery-room standards, wherever you choose to recover.
The hours after surgery are when attentive nursing matters most — and when most patients are furthest from it. Mikaela brings the vigilance of a post-anesthesia care unit to the comfort of wherever you're staying, one patient at a time.
Post-anesthesia monitoring
Vital signs, pain, and nausea managed continuously through the hours that matter most after anesthesia.
Medication management
Every medication administered on schedule, exactly as your surgeon ordered — nothing missed, nothing doubled.
Drains & dressings
Surgical drain care, dressing changes, and incision checks performed with sterile technique.
First movements
Safe, unhurried assistance in and out of bed, to the bath, and through the first walk.
Surgeon liaison
Clear updates to your surgical team — and immediate escalation the moment anything warrants their attention.
Overnight & extended care
Eight-, twelve-, and twenty-four-hour private arrangements. Multi-day recoveries by request.
Mikaela Yates, RN
Mikaela is a peri-operative and recovery nurse whose entire career has been spent around surgery — preparing patients for it, assisting through it, and guiding them out the other side. She has cared for surgical patients at outpatient surgery centers and aftercare facilities across Newport Beach and Laguna, including years inside a high-volume plastic-surgery practice, where she learned the standard of attention cosmetic and orthopedic patients deserve.
Private recovery care grew out of that work: patients recovering at coastal resorts asked for the same nurse who cared for them in the surgery center to stay with them through the first nights. She takes one patient at a time, always.
Arranged before surgery. Seamless after it.
Consult
A private call before surgery day — your procedure, your surgeon's plan, and where you'll be recovering.
Coordination
Care follows your surgeon's discharge orders, and your surgical team knows a registered nurse is with you.
Recovery
Mikaela meets you at discharge and stays through the hours you've arranged — suite, villa, or home.
Privacy is not a feature of the service. It is the service.
Mikaela is HIPAA-trained and accustomed to caring for clients who value their privacy absolutely. Arrival is unbranded, confidentiality agreements are welcomed, and no detail of your care — including that it occurred — is ever shared. There are no client lists, no photographs, and no exceptions.

Care is provided at five-star coastal resorts, private villas, and residences throughout coastal Orange County. Travel beyond the area — or alongside you — can be arranged privately.
Availability is limited by design.
Because care is one-on-one, only a small number of recovery dates are taken each month. Reach out as soon as your surgery is scheduled.
A note on privacy: please keep medical details out of email — your history and your surgeon's plan are reviewed in a private consult.
Engagements are private-pay, arranged directly, with rates quoted after consult.
