A broken hip often means surgery, rehab, and a real change in care needs. Here's how families plan the recovery.
Typical recovery
After surgery, most patients need short-term rehab in a skilled nursing facility for physical therapy — frequently Medicare-covered after a qualifying hospital stay. Recovery can take weeks to months.
Mobility and fall risk are usually higher afterward.
After rehab
Many seniors add in-home care or move to assisted living for safety once rehab ends. A free advisor can arrange the rehab stay and help you plan the transition home or to a community.
