Geriatric Hip Fracture Program
The Geriatric Hip Fracture Program at Fairview Hospital is designed to guide the patient and their family through the events surrounding a fracture. It is the first program of its kind in the Cleveland area.
Features of the Geriatric Hip Fracture Program include:
- Access to physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, physical therapists and occupational therapists who all specialize in geriatric fractures.
- Private rooms in the acute care setting.
- Emphasis on rehabilitation and individual care.
- An occupational therapist who educates patients on activities of daily living.
- Participation by family and/or friends who serve as “coaches” in the recovery process.
- Physical therapy will provide education on ways to mobilize after surgery.
- Coordinated education for patients and family members.
- Treatments to help limit blood loss which can lower the need for blood transfusions and improve recovery after surgery.
- Nutrition is a very important part of the healing process. Protein will aid in the healing process, and you may need a nutritional supplement before and after hip surgery.
