Total Joint Replacement Program

Accelerate Your Recovery with Specialized Orthopedic Post-Acute Rehabilitation

Surgery is only the first step. The success of your new hip or knee depends heavily on what happens after you leave the hospital. At Northwest Home Health & Rehab, our Total Joint Replacement Program is designed to help you regain mobility, manage pain effectively, and return to your favorite activities faster.

Patient Therapy

We bridge the gap between hospital and independence, bringing specialized Orthopedic Post-Acute Rehabilitation directly to your living room.

Your Recovery Outcomes:

  • Regain Independence Faster: Our outcome-focused therapy protocols are designed to get you walking, climbing stairs, and managing daily tasks safely, often reducing the total time spent in recovery.
  • Expert Equipment Guidance: We assist with recommendations and coordination for Durable Medical Equipment (DME)—such as walkers and shower benches—ensuring you have the right tools to navigate your home safely from day one.
  • Minimize Post-Surgical Complications: By closely monitoring surgical incision sites and managing anticoagulation therapies, we significantly reduce the risk of infections and blood clots that lead to hospital readmissions.
  • Confidence in Movement: We don’t just exercise your joint; we provide comprehensive gait training and balance education to prevent falls and restore your confidence in navigating your home.
  • Personalized Pain Management: Our nurses work with your surgeon to ensure your pain is well-managed, allowing you to participate fully in rehabilitation without unnecessary discomfort.

Our Orthopedic Care Team:

Our team acts as an extension of your surgeon’s office, ensuring their specific protocols are followed with precision:

  • Registered Nurses (RN): Manages complex medication regimens, incision care, and overall health monitoring to keep you safe at home.
  • Occupational Therapists (OT): Teaches you how to navigate daily activities—like dressing and bathing—safely while adhering to post-surgical precautions and properly utilizing adaptive equipment.
