The patient can quickly get back to independent living with the right help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #a21f4b\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Six Home Healthcare Tips for Senior Knee or Hip Replacement<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #1. First Floor Recovery: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Before surgery, create a first-floor recovery room to avoid stairs. Acquire a bed that is adjustable or already at the proper height for the patient. Cover with fresh linens and pillows. Keep crutches or a walker in easy access from the bed. Arrange toiletries or personal necessities next to the bed. If the bathroom isn\u2019t easily available, rent a portable commode for the first few recovery days.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #2. Prescription Medications After Surgery:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Drugs will be prescribed after surgery, and they must be taken exactly as detailed. Arrange a conversation with the surgeon before surgery so you know how to schedule doses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #3. Wound Care: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">After the knee or hip surgery, vigilant wound care will be necessary. Look for increased swelling or inflammation and call their doctor if the wound doesn\u2019t seem right. Keep the bandages and other supplies handy for you or your elderly adult to regularly change the dressings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #4. Household Tasks: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Help the patient by doing as many household chores as possible. Let them focus on needed rest and recovery. Remember that small things do help. Bringing the mail in daily, doing a load of laundry, or straightening up their room are all helpful things, and running errands and doing the grocery shopping may be necessary, too, so you can cook healthy nourishing meals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #5. Follow-Up Medical Appointments: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Post-surgery medical appointments mustn\u2019t be missed. These appointments will be crucial to recovery, so you may have to adjust your schedule to help transport your loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #6. Rehab and Exercises Post-Surgery: <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b;padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Typically, hip or knee replacement surgeries have a prescribed rehab plan with numerous daily exercises, sometimes to be initiated the day following surgery. Older people sometimes resist these exercises because of pain or fatigue. Be their best source of encouragement by creating an exercise schedule and helping them to complete it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #a21f4b\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Above all, surgery has a recovery time, but hip and knee surgeries may need more than you can feasibly provide for your loved one. Rather than feeling stressed, call for in-home health care to help you and your loved one during recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
