Stroke

Strokes require immediate medical attention and take both a physical and emotional toll. After suffering a stroke, getting back to normal and enjoying a level of independence is important and requires help from medical professionals like a speech therapist or physical therapist. A stroke survivor may experience partial paralysis which can make daily tasks difficult. As a result, survivors may have trouble adhering to stroke rehabilitation treatment plans without the guidance of healthcare professionals. The good news is that in-home stroke rehabilitation care can be incredibly successful in helping a stroke survivor improve their quality of life quickly.

In-Home Care for Stroke Rehabilitation

During a stroke, the patient’s brain is temporarily cut off from blood flow causing brain cells to die. This temporary blood flow shortage results in losing control of some memory functions and muscle mobility issues.

In the days and weeks after a stroke, the stroke patient may experience some of the following issues:

• Partial or full paralysis on one side of the body
• Difficulty speaking or complete loss of ability to speak
• Muscle weakness in arms or legs
• Partial or full paralysis in the face

These issues can be incredibly frustrating for stroke survivors as they take time and patience to correct. Stroke therapy can be accessed through a rehabilitation facility with additional therapy options delivered through at-home stroke care. If a loved one has suffered a stroke, professional in-home care for stroke patients from licensed healthcare professionals can make the difference between a full or partial stroke recovery. Our trained rehabilitation experts and nurses will perform an assessment, tailor a custom treatment plan to your loved one’s needs/goals and work closely with the patient, their family, and their healthcare team to ensure a speedy and thoughtful recovery. Every stroke patient can access therapy in a comfortable and familiar environment with in-home care services. Learn more about post-stroke rehabilitation and other treatment resources.
