How can I help my dad recover from knee replacement surgery at home?

My dad is considering - knee replacement surgery soon || My dad is finally considering - knee replacement surgery after years of pain. His ortho said he's a good candidate but he's really nervous about the recovery time. He lives alone and I'm worried about how he'll manage the first few weeks. We're looking into options for in-home help or maybe a short rehab stay. If anyone has gone through this with a parent, I'd love to hear how you handled the logistics and what to expect.
