Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Preparing for the return home after a hip fracture
Coming home is a milestone. Before discharge, ask the treating team what help your loved one may need with getting out of bed, moving around the home and managing personal care. Discuss what your family can cover and when you may need extra help.
Puan Zainab’s journey home
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Seksyen 13, Shah Alam, whose 75-year-old mother, Puan Zainab, is preparing to leave Hospital Shah Alam after surgery for a hip fracture. Before her fall, she woke early for Subuh prayers, prepared breakfast and watered her plants. Her grandchildren knew she always had something special ready when they visited.
As discharge approached, standing and walking required assistance. Getting out of bed took longer, and she needed help bathing, dressing and using the bathroom. She was glad to go home but worried about asking her children for more help. “I don’t want to trouble my children.”
Her family asked the treating team to explain what support she would need. They compared their schedules, discussed professional help for the hours they could not cover and asked Puan Zainab which routines mattered most to her.
Prepare the home and plan around rehabilitation
Walk through the route from the bedroom to the bathroom and discuss lighting, access and recommended equipment with the treating team. Ask which activities your loved one can do independently and request a demonstration of any assistance the family will provide. Agree who will help with personal care, meals and appointments while the rehabilitation team guides the clinical plan.
Eight preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Clarify weight-bearing and movement restrictions with the treating team.
- Review the walking routes and discuss any recommended mobility aids.
- Check bathroom access and ask about suitable equipment or adaptations.
- Prepare a comfortable place to sleep and keep everyday items within reach.
- Confirm who should provide any recommended wound care and how it will be arranged.
- Record rehabilitation and follow-up appointments, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Identify gaps in the family’s schedule and discuss suitable homecare assistance.
Before discharge, ask the treating team which changes require urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
