About ViraLou

ViraLou nurse caring for a patient at home

The hours and days following surgery are just as important as the procedure itself. With expert, one-on-one support, you never have to navigate recovery alone.

Founded and run by an RN.

Louise built ViraLou around one belief, that recovery should feel as cared-for as the surgery itself.

Care built on trust and compassion.

Every ViraLou Patient Concierge is a licensed RN or LVN, providing experienced, one-on-one care tailored exclusively to you, because your recovery deserves undivided attention.

We provide attentive, one-on-one support throughout your recovery, monitoring your well-being, assisting with comfort and medication reminders, maintaining communication with your surgical team, and keeping your loved ones informed every step of the way.

Based in Orange County, ViraLou Aftercare provides personalized concierge recovery care in your home, hotel, Airbnb, or preferred recovery accommodation throughout Southern California, including Orange County, San Diego, Inland Empire, and the greater Los Angeles area.

Our Mission

An elevated post-operative experience.

From surgical pickup to your next-day follow-up, our licensed Patient Concierges carefully follow your surgeon’s post-operative plan while providing compassionate, one-on-one support every step of the way.

From the moment we pick patients up to their next-day follow-up, ViraLou caregivers follow each surgeon’s discharge protocols exactly, with the warmth and attentiveness of a true concierge service.

You heal. We care.
