Thanks Dolly in my experience nowadays most patients I know come home or at least to their previous residental home. I know few have to go to more specialized care but that is normally due to additional health issues that become apparent during the hospital stay.
Personally I think dad’s walking is better than before the op so I think the hip was on the way out before and probably caused him to fall in the first place.
The big thing is getting his confidence again especially in the kitchen where he fell.
