    In short

    What recovery support can include

    After a hip replacement, knee replacement or broken bone, the first weeks at home decide how well someone walks again. Support can combine wound and medicine care, physiotherapy, safe transfers, equipment and help with daily activities, following the hospital's discharge plan. For other operations, see post-surgical care; for therapy on its own, see physiotherapy at home.

    Step by step

    How this works

    1. 1The home assessment

      An assessor reviews the person’s needs, home, routines and risks, then confirms the care plan, professionals and hours required.

    2. 2What can be delivered at home

      Care is delivered at home only when the assessment, professional scope and home environment make it safe and appropriate.

    3. 3What is recorded during care

      Managed care is recorded against the care plan and reviewed when needs, risks or circumstances change.

    4. 4Shifts, handover and supervision

      A rostered team covers the agreed hours, records each shift and gives a structured handover to the next professional.
