Joint Replacement Care

Major operations such as hip and knee replacements can take some time until complete recovery. In addition, you will likely feel weak and tired after surgery and need assistance with daily living tasks.

Connected Health offers a bespoke homecare service that will provide the additional care and support you require to heal well and in good time.

You can quickly restore mobility and health with good post-operative care at home, and Connected Health is here to help.

At Connected Health, we recognise that each recovery journey after joint replacement is unique. We collaborate with you to craft a personalised care plan, tailored to your individual needs and preferences. We firmly believe in avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to your care.

Recovering from joint replacement surgery requires time and dedication, but with our committed support, you can navigate this process safely and comfortably. Your well-being is our priority throughout your journey.

You can trust our highly-trained staff to provide high-quality homecare services customised to your needs and preferences.

These services might include:

• Having a care professional stay with you during the first few weeks following surgery.
• Assisting with washing those body parts that are hard to reach so you can avoid bending and stretching.
• Help with getting you dressed and out of bed in the morning.
• Supervision of light physical activities and exercises to increase post-operative mobility.
• Shopping, cooking, and general housework assistance.
• Accompanying you to doctor’s appointments to have your wound checked or stitches removed.
• Medicine assistance so that you are free from pain, discomfort, and infections.
• Coordination with your care providers to ensure you have the correct equipment and aids in your home.

Receiving joint replacement care at home offers a range of benefits, ensuring a holistic and personalised approach to recovery:

Comfort and Familiarity: Embrace the comfort and familiarity of your home environment throughout the recovery process.

Increased Independence: Experience heightened independence and decision-making capabilities, fostering a sense of control.

Dignity and Privacy: Enjoy enhanced dignity and privacy, particularly during treatment sessions, ensuring a respectful and confidential atmosphere.

Improved Sleep: Benefit from better sleep conditions at home, contributing to an enhanced and effective recovery.

Dedicated Care Specialist: Have a dedicated Care Specialist by your side, capable of adjusting and optimising care based on your evolving needs.

Choice: Exercise autonomy in choosing how to structure your day – from activities to meals and personal care preferences.

Flexibility: Embrace the flexibility of having family and friends visit at your convenience, creating a supportive and connected environment.

Community Connection: Stay engaged and connected with the local community, fostering a sense of belonging and social interaction during the recovery journey.

There are many reasons why you might need to have an operation. Recovering from an operation, particularly in your later years, can be challenging and make living at home during the post-operative period difficult. Connected Health offers a range of services and care packages to assist you in managing your health after your discharge from hospital.

As specialists in home-based joint replacement care, our dedicated team ensures personalised and accountable assistance for both pre- and post-operative needs, fostering optimal recovery within the comfort of home. Bridging the gap between your loved one and their orthopaedic team, we prioritise following doctor’s orders to instil confidence and comfort throughout their recovery journey.
