Stroke Care at Home

Taking care of a loved one who has had a stroke, series of strokes or TIA’s can be an emotional and challenging experience. However, with the help of full-time home care, your loved one can receive the personalized attention they need for their long-term health and well-being, all while being in the comfort of familiar surroundings. One of the major benefits of home care over a care facility is that it allows for a more individualized care plan that can adapt as the needs of the loved one change over time. This flexibility is important for long-term care planning as stroke complications often require continuous attention. Moreover, home care is often a more cost-effective option compared to care facilities and the peace of mind that comes with home care is invaluable for both the caregiver and the family.

Home Care Services for Strokes and TIA’s

At Assistance Home Care, we understand the importance of providing quality care for stroke patients. Our agency offers a wide range of home care services, including assistance with personal care, mobility assistance, medication reminders, therapy & exercise support, meal preparation, and companionship.  It’s also important to note that strokes can affect each person differently, and one’s management of care should be tailored to their specific needs. In order to ensure that your loved one receives the best care possible, it is important to work closely with their healthcare team, our agency, and your loved one themselves to create a comprehensive and personalized care plan that addresses their unique needs and goals. In most cases, families whose loved one is impacted by a stroke coordinate full time care, overnight care or 24/7 home care support schedules to provide the most peace of mind.
