Advanced Home Health is dedicated to providing compassionate, high quality home health services to the people of Eastern Idaho in collaboration with a skilled multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers.

A hip prosthesis replaces the connection point where the femur and pelvis meet. The prosthesis works to replicate the smooth operation of your original hip joint.

The original knee joint is replaced with a prosthesis that works to decrease and/or eliminate joint pain.

Home rehabilitation for post-operative hip & knee replacements and surgical repair of traumatic injuries.

Success from both procedures is largely determined by the rehabilitation process, which begins before surgery.
What follows are four critical steps that help aid in your full recovery.

• Choose a bed or bedroom with easy access to a bathroom
• Consider having pre-cooked and frozen meals
• Inform a nearby friend, relative or neighbor of an emergency plan
