Buy the hip kit from amazon (it has a grabber, sock putter onner, and other things to help dress and undress).
If you don’t have a comfort height toilet, or if he’s super tall, you’ll want to think about a raised toilet seat. (I personally didn’t need one, but I’m also 5’6”.)
You’ll also want to get a seat for the shower, I recommend the kind with no raised handles or anything, like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AEGCUI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share - this is the one that the hospital had and I loved it.
You also might want to have a stool softener on hand, they’ll provide you with one but I had to add my own into the mix just for the first couple of days.
He’ll also need a sturdy chair (like a dining room chair) to sit in that doesn’t have wheels. It helps to have a cushion here (I just used a pillow 🤷🏻♀️).
He’ll need some comfy sweat pants to wear. Your legs can swell quite a bit after surgery so nothing tight fitting.
Also I was super hungry after surgery (like after the first few days passed) so have lots of snack options.
The hospital will send you home with a walker/crutches (whatever they decide) and then most people transition to a cane. I got my cane for $20 on Amazon. The crutches my insurance covered.
Let me know if you have any other questions! I just had my hip done last September. :)

Might be too wide to fit in a tub but works great in a stall.
