Hip surgery is a fairly common surgery for the elderly. If your parent has been struggling with hip pain due to injury, disease, or other reasons, you might have made the decision to have her hip replaced to improve her quality of life. Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with new, artificial parts. The goals of hip replacement surgery include pain relief, increased mobility, and improved hip joint function.<\/p>\n

Now that the decision has been made, as a caregiver, you\u2019ll want to prepare by taking some key steps<\/a> before your parent goes in to get her surgery. Most hospital stays after hip surgery are 3-5 days, so you\u2019ll need to work on getting whatever home your parent is recovering at (whether it\u2019s her own or if she\u2019s coming home with you for recovery) ready for her to transition to home care as easily as possible.<\/p>\n
