In-Home Care for Knee and Hip Replacement
Here at Certain Care, we understand the unique demands and complications associated with post-surgery rehabilitation. Hip and knee replacement surgery in particular can make it practically impossible for patients to live independently, without extensive support and assistance.
For around 4 to 6 weeks after the operation, round-the-clock care may be needed to ensure your comfort and safety. This is where our professional live-in care services for knee and hip replacement surgery can help.
We can provide you with the professional live-in support you need to cover your care requirements throughout your rehabilitation. Along with overseeing your comfort and safety as you recover from surgery, your carer will provide the support you need to ensure you recover as quickly and fully as possible.

Live-in Care - Lightening the Load for Loved Ones
Caring for a friend or family member who is recovering from surgery can be difficult, particularly when they require 24/7 in-home support. Recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery means facing the challenge of several weeks near-total immobility.
An extensive period of rest and recuperation is necessary, in order to support the recovery process.
Live-in care for knee and hip replacement surgery can lighten the load for loved ones, while providing the patient with a much higher standard of care and support. Our in-home care covers a full range of duties for patients recovering from surgery, including everyday housekeeping, shopping and meal preparation, assistance with bathing and grooming, administering medications and more.
At Certain Care, our goal is to provide patients and their family members with round-the-clock peace of mind, during an inevitably difficult time. If you’d like to learn more about our post-op in-home care services, reach out to a member of the team at Certain Care today.

In-Home Recovery and Rehabilitation
Most patients would prefer to spend as much of the post-surgery recovery period as possible at home. Following knee or hip replacement surgery, patients are often discharged in as little as three days. However, this is only possible where adequate in-home care and support can be provided, for as long as necessary.
With the help of Certain Care, all aspects of your recovery and rehabilitation will be overseen by a qualified and capable professional. Whether you are looking to arrange 24/7 in-home care for yourself or have questions regarding a loved one’s post-surgery care requirements, we would be delighted to hear from you anytime.
