Call From the Hospital — Care Starts Day of Discharge
Hip and knee replacement recovery at home near Morristown Medical Center demands something physical therapy sessions alone can’t provide: daily practice. Every step with the walker. Every assisted transfer from bed to chair. Every ice application after exercises. The Johns Hopkins Medicine confirms that patients who practice prescribed exercises daily — not just during PT visits — recover faster, regain more function, and avoid the stiffness that causes long-term disability.
At 24 HOUR Home Care NJ, our certified caregivers near Morristown Medical Center reinforce physical therapy every single day. Walking practice. Weight-bearing progression per surgeon protocol. Fall prevention — joint replacement patients have extreme fall risk during the first 4 weeks. Pain medication timing. Wound monitoring. All under RN oversight coordinated with your orthopedic surgeon. See post-surgery care and post-surgery live-in Morristown.
