Recovering from Hip Replacement Surgery: What You Need at Home
Hip replacements are one of the most common orthopaedic surgeries in Australia, with thousands performed annually to restore mobility and reduce pain from arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions. Recovery at home requires thoughtful support to reduce strain, promote healing, and regain independence.
Mobility aids are typically needed immediately after surgery. Walking frames and crutches offer stability during early rehabilitation, while rollators support longer walking distances as confidence improves. Using appropriate mobility equipment reduces falls and protects the new joint during the crucial healing period.
Bathroom safety is also a top priority. Coastcare offers a range of shower chairs, transfer benches, and grab rails to assist with hygiene and reduce slipping risk. These products allow individuals to maintain dignity and comfort while meeting essential daily needs.
Getting in and out of bed or a chair can be painful and unsafe without support. Our electric lift chairs help users transition between seated and standing positions safely, without bending the hips beyond recommended angles. Additionally, bedroom aids such as overbed tables and leg lifters reduce strain during rest and recovery.
Maintaining independence with dressing is made easier using dressing aids like sock pullers, reachers, and long-handled shoehorns. These tools eliminate the need to bend over, keeping the hip joint aligned and protected post-surgery.

Our team regularly works with physiotherapists and occupational therapists to ensure you get the right equipment from the start — especially when supported by NDIS, DVA, or hospital referrals.
