Helping Seniors Transition from Inpatient Rehab to Home

Refer a loved one 

OVERVIEW OF INPATIENT REHAB 

After a senior is discharged from the hospital, they may go to an inpatient rehabilitation center to continue their recovery. These centers are designed to assist seniors who have suffered from a serious injury or medical event — like a full hip replacement, stroke, etc.  

During their time at rehab, a senior has access to physical therapy and round-the-clock care. But once discharged from rehab, a senior may need additional care and support at home to ensure a smooth and safe transition. This transition period is when seniors are the most vulnerable to a serious fall or other injury.  

 

WHAT’S COVERED IN OUR HIP & KNEE REPLACEMENT SPECIALTY PROGRAM 

Seniors who especially need support after inpatient rehab are those who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery. These surgeries have a long recovery period, during which seniors are susceptible to falls and other health complications. Our Hip & Knee Replacement Specialty Program provides tailored services to help seniors during their recovery at home.   

 

We can help with:

  • Transfer and ambulation assistance 
  • Home Safety Assessment and continuous home safety monitoring 
  • Daily monitoring for swelling in extremities 
  • Medication reminders 
  • Transportation to doctor’s appointments 

 

Our caregivers are trained in:

  • Identifying and addressing fall risks 
  • Preventing infection 
  • Proper techniques for transferring and positioning seniors 
  • Durable medical equipment recommendations 
  • Care coordination with healthcare professionals

"Throughout recovery, the patient’s needs change, so the care plan and treatment plan must be modified accordingly."

"In the past, many were routinely directed to inpatient facilities to rebuild their strength and reduce pain after the operation... But a wave of influential studies over the last five years has demonstrated that home rehab can be just as effective, less costly and even less risky for many patients."
