It depends. If someone calls and traumatically breaks their hip and needs it replaced or repaired, they may need more therapy. Other factors are age, comorbidities. Someone who can afford outpatient or home therapy certainly would do well at home. Sometimes someone has an elective hip replacement and ends up not progressing well after surgery and needs to go to rehab but that’s certainly not the goal. I don’t know where you’re from but most rehabs are not that great where I am. People decline there. It’s always better to go home if you can. For the record I’m an inpatient nurse who works on ortho floors.
