 Almost one million Americans have a knee or hip replacement surgery each year, most of these joint replacement surgeries are performed on senior citizens, but nearly 100,000 of the operations are performed on patients under the age of 65.

Knee replacement surgery rates continue to increase due to greater wear on our joints and longer life spans. Some people even undergo multiple replacement surgeries. Homecare can be an important part of a patient’s recovery after surgery, either by itself or combined with outpatient therapy.
