Potential Benefits of In-Home Care for Joint Replacement Patients

Join replacement surgery is common among seniors who have joint pains and need to have parts of their arthritic or damaged joint replaced. Your aging loved one will definitely need support for the first 6 weeks following surgery, however it may take 6 months and up to a year for the full benefits of the surgery to kick in. In-home care companies such as Queen City Elder Care help improve patient’s quality of life and help reduce hospitalizations after joint replacements.

Here are a few benefits of using in-home care post joint replacement surgery.

• Improved transition to home helping patients adhere to the discharge plan and be more comfortable

• Reducing pain through reminders of pain relievers, such as “cold compressions”

• Decreased fall risk through assistance to the bathroom or transferring to a chair

• Increase home safety through visual and verbal cues while ambulating

• Decreased urgent care or ER visits

• Vigilance in recognizing signs and symptoms of infection

• Maintain precaution protocols

• Decreased missed appointments to outpatient or Doctors clinic
