Knee and hip replacement care

Knee and hip replacement surgery is a routine surgical operation that involves replacing a damaged, worn or diseased knee with an artificial joint to help improve mobility and alleviate pain. However, recovering from knee and hip replacement surgery may time, often weeks and sometimes months. We’re here to provide support with post-op recovery and aftercare, particularly supporting you with day-to-day tasks, pain medicine management and motion exercises in the comfort of your home.

Our services go far beyond traditional homecare and provide effective and evidence-based care through our close working relationship with other healthcare professionals like physiotherapist, GPs and speech therapist.   We’re committed to providing the best standards of care that meets your needs, interest and preferences.

We’ll offer reablement care, respite care and emergency care to help you to recover from knee and hip replacement surgery. Get in touch today on 0203 643 5295 to discuss your options.

More people are now receiving knee and hip replacement operation. After surgery can be major medical complications, such as heart attack or stroke, if appropriate aftercare is not provided. With the right level of specialist care from our specialist nurse-led, everyone who has had surgery should be able to recuperate in their own home after the operation. Receiving support at home, the environment where you feel most comfortable and close to our loved ones helps for a smooth recovery.

Whatever your preference, our nurse-led team is at hand to make your recovery smooth by giving you the right level of support. Our range of support include:

• Emergency care: to provide urgent help especially when you have had emergency discharge or when an emergency has arisen
• Live-in care: to have full-time caregiver to live in your home, for just a few days so you can get back on your feet
• Visiting care: where a highly skilled healthcare assistant will visit at certain times of the day when you need the extra support
• Reablement care: specialist care worker helps to exercise as per the prescription from the physiotherapist
• Respite care: to have an expert replacement carer to step in when your usual carer needs a break or is unable to support you.
