Find Trusted Home Care Providers Experienced in Stroke Care in 20 Minutes

Recovering from a stroke is a unique journey that goes beyond standard home care. It often involves active rehabilitation, relearning daily skills and adapting to new physical or communication needs. Choosing a provider with specific stroke experience can make a significant difference to your loved one’s quality of life and recovery.

While general home care provides excellent support for daily tasks, a provider experienced in stroke care brings a proactive, recovery-focused approach. They understand that care is not just about doing things for your loved one but helping them regain the independence to do things for themselves.

The practical benefits of a matched provider include:

• Support for rehabilitation: Carers who understand how to reinforce the exercises prescribed by physiotherapists, helping to maintain mobility and build strength between clinical appointments.
• Safety and confidence: Staff trained in safe transfer techniques (like moving from bed to chair) who understand how to support someone with one-sided weakness (hemiplegia) without causing discomfort.
• Better communication: Carers who are patient and skilled in communicating with people living with aphasia, ensuring your loved one feels heard, respected and socially connected.
• Safe, enjoyable mealtimes: Knowledge of specific dietary needs, such as texture-modified foods for those with swallowing difficulties, ensuring nutrition is maintained safely.
