Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Planning the first days at home
Leaving hospital after knee replacement gives families a new set of routines to work through. Ask the treating team what help is needed with getting out of bed, reaching the bathroom, bathing and dressing. Then decide who can be there and which times of day may need extra support.
A grandfather’s determination to walk again
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Encik Ismail enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, visiting relatives and attending prayers at his neighbourhood mosque. Before his knee replacement, even a family gathering could mean finding a chair while everyone else moved around.
After surgery at KPJ Seremban Specialist Hospital, he was eager to walk confidently again. He was using a walking aid and needed more help getting out of bed, bathing and dressing. His wife wanted to help, but had back pain of her own. Their daughter worked in Seremban, and their son regularly travelled to Kuala Lumpur.
When his daughter asked how he was feeling, he smiled. “Alhamdulillah, better. But this knee is still not listening to me.”
The family asked the treating team what help he would need and agreed which hours they could cover. Encik Ismail helped plan a schedule that made space for rest, rehabilitation appointments and visits with his grandchildren.
Caregiving alongside physiotherapy
Ask the physiotherapist to explain the rehabilitation plan and the treating team to clarify what daily assistance is appropriate. A caregiver can help with agreed routines such as personal care, meals and companionship while the rehabilitation team guides the clinical programme.
Eight preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Confirm the rehabilitation plan and who will guide it.
- Review walking routes at home and ask the team about recommended equipment and assistance.
- Check bathroom access and discuss any adaptations the team recommends.
- Prepare a comfortable sleeping area and place everyday items within reach.
- Confirm who should provide any recommended wound care and how it will be arranged.
- Review medication responsibilities, appointment dates and transport arrangements.
- Compare family availability with daily care needs and discuss help for any gaps.
Before discharge, ask the treating team which changes require urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
