In-Home Support for Seniors Healing After Knee Surgery

Recovering from a knee replacement can be challenging — especially for seniors who face limited mobility, pain, stiffness, and a high risk of falls. At A Place At Home, we provide reliable, compassionate post-knee replacement home care that helps older adults heal safely and comfortably in the place they love most: home.

We serve families across Fairfax County, Loudoun County, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities.

Why Post-Knee Replacement Home Care Matters

Knee replacement surgery greatly improves mobility, but the first few weeks after the procedure are the hardest. Seniors often need help with:

  • Getting in and out of bed

  • Standing, sitting, and walking safely

  • Bathing and toileting

  • Managing pain and medication schedules

  • Preparing meals and staying hydrated

  • Preventing falls on stairs and slippery surfaces

  • Getting to follow-up appointments or physical therapy

With proper home care support, seniors recover faster, avoid complications, and regain confidence.

Our After Surgery Support Services Include:

Recovering at home after surgery can be challenging without the right help. That’s why our caregivers offer a wide range of non-medical post-operative support designed to make everyday tasks easier and promote a safe, smooth recovery. Whether you need assistance for a few days or several weeks, we’re here to help you feel confident and cared for at every step.

Overnight & 24/7 Support for a Safer Recovery

 

After knee replacement surgery, nights can be especially challenging. Seniors often experience stiffness, swelling, confusion, or sudden pain that makes movement difficult. Even simple routines—like standing up, walking to the bathroom, or adjusting pillows—can become risky without help.

With our overnight and round-the-clock care, families never have to worry. Our caregivers:

  • Assist with safe nightly bathroom trips

  • Help seniors reposition and get comfortable

  • Manage late-night pain or swelling support

  • Provide companionship to ease anxiety

  • Ensure immediate help in case of discomfort or falls

Continuous care means safer recovery, fewer complications, and greater peace of mind.
