Care After A Stroke​

Stroke is becoming the most common cause of disability in adults. A stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), can drastically alter a person’s life. Stroke has ramifications for the entire family, not just the individual who suffered the stroke. Family caregivers and friends are frequently eager to assist, but they may not have the time, physical capacity, or knowledge to complete all tasks needed to help get the stroke survivor back on track. Most stroke survivors want to be able to live independently at home again, where they can recuperate in a familiar environment, with pets and loved ones nearby. This can speed up the recovery process, especially since their home is often the ideal place to retrain skills and adjust to any physical limits that may be present.

Care support services are frequently required once a patient comes home from a hospital or intermediate care environment to guarantee continuing recovery. 365 In-Home Care refers care providers that can assist in eliminating some of the burdens from the family of stroke victims that live at home and help cut down on the recovery time. Our care coordinator will collaborate with the family to create a care plan that is tailored to the patient’s specific needs, routines, and lifestyle.

It is unclear how long the effects will continue after a stroke or whether the patient’s abilities will improve over time. Recovery, even with the assistance of family caregivers, can be difficult. Our mission is to refer care providers that can assist stroke sufferers in regaining the most independence possible and facilitating their best quality of life. This can be done in the home or in a facility where your loved one is receiving treatment or therapy. The care providers are available for round-the-clock or tailored hours that best suit your needs.

Rehabilitation experts agree that the most crucial factor in successful recovery is well-directed, repetitive practice. A set of exercises is given to many patients to do at home by their physical therapist. Reminders, encouragement, and supervision are provided by the care providers to assist the patient in sticking to the program.

Stroke rehabilitation can be time-consuming and difficult, especially for patients who are dealing with mobility and cognitive issues. Care providers assist patients with keeping track of appointments and driving them to the appropriate locations, such as the stroke center, doctor’s office, or support group meetings. This helps patients relax and concentrate on their rehabilitation.

Loneliness and inactivity contribute to post-stroke depression and make it more difficult for patients to adhere to their treatment plans. According to a University of Toronto study, stroke survivors who have someone to confide in about their experiences and feelings perform significantly better. Clients with in-home care providers are less likely to feel isolated. Furthermore, having a care provider on hand gives patients the assurance that they can follow their healthcare provider’s physical activity recommendations. Patients feel more at ease venturing out of the house or performing home exercises when they have a care provider in close proximity.

We will collaborate with family, primary care physicians, and other healthcare providers to create the right care plan that is tailored to the specific needs of the stroke survivor. 365 In-Home Care is the right choice to refer the best care.
