Each patient has an appointment with a certified orthopedic nurse who answers any questions and helps him or her understand the surgery and recovery process. Once on the JointWorks unit, you can forget your old ideas about hospitals. The focus here is wellness. Patients enjoy socializing with other joint replacement patients in a cheerful setting. A sunroom is used for buffet-style lunches and other fun activities.
Physical therapy is provided in groups to encourage a little friendly competition.
Patients are encouraged to get out of bed and take an active part in the recovery process. And hospital gowns are not in fashion on JointWorks. Patients wear comfortable clothing from home. The staff of JointWorks really enjoys caring for their patients and works to make sure the patient's needs are met. All of this has a positive effect on the patients and helps them get on the road to Home Sweet Home faster.
