We do more than home visits for people after Knee Replacement Surgery

Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.

What is Knee Replacement Surgery?

A knee replacement involves replacing damaged cartilage in the knee joint with an artificial joint, helping restore movement and easing pain.

Each year, over 200,000 hip and knee replacements are carried out in the UK. According to data, the lifetime risk of having a knee replacement is around 10.8% for women and 8.1% for men. Most patients are back home within 3 to 5 days and achieve full recovery within 3 to 6 months. The goal of this operation is to improve quality of life by reducing stiffness, severe pain, and increasing mobility.

You’ll likely be advised to use an assistive device early on and follow guidance from a physical therapist to improve strength and balance. It’s also important to keep your incision site clean. Returning to everyday activities, such as being able to climb stairs, wear shoes, or take a short walk, is possible with consistent physical therapy and support at home.

A Day In The Life With Anastasia

"I remember looking after someone who had just come out of the hospital after knee surgery. They were worried they wouldn’t be able to move around, but we took it slow. I helped with ice packs, domestic tasks, and keeping their incision clean. By the end of the month, we went for a walk to the corner shop together. It’s those little wins that really matter after an operation like this."

The Benefits of Home Care for Knee Replacement Surgery

Choosing knee replacement surgery home care means you get the help you need, right where you feel most comfortable—at home. In the first few weeks, you may need help to get up safely, manage pain medicine, or keep up with your rehab. We’ll support you through every part of the healing process, from personal care and meal preparation to reminders for pain relief and help using walking sticks.

At Tiggo Care, we focus on what matters to you. Whether you're easing back into physical activity or just need someone to help you stay active safely, we create a care plan that suits your life, your pace, and your goals. We’ll liaise with your occupational therapist, assist with aftercare of knee replacement routines, and be there if other symptoms arise. We’re here to make the return to normal feel possible—and make sure you never feel alone while getting there.

More reasons to choose Tiggo Care

Our Care packages are bespoke

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.

We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.

We're fully regulated

Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.

We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice

Our carers are fully vetted & trained

At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to care for someone with knee replacement surgery?

Support includes helping with personal care, ensuring safe movement, helping you relieve pain, keeping meals nutritious, and giving reminders for blood thinners and pain medication as prescribed. Gentle guidance during aftercare for knee replacement surgery helps the person recover at their own pace.

What can't you do after knee replacement?

Avoid contact sports, twisting motions, or sitting for long periods. Avoid putting stress, such as heavy lifting or sudden movements, during the early stages of recovery. It’s important not to put excessive stress on the new knee and to avoid actions that can strain or dislocate the artificial joint during aftercare knee replacement.

What is the best position to sit after knee replacement?

Sit in a firm, straight chair where your knees stay below hip level, and avoid sitting in the same position for too long. Use cushions and supports if needed to maintain comfort while respecting knee precautions. A proper sitting position supports healing, helps reduce swelling, and promotes good posture, especially in the first few weeks post-surgery.
