After Stroke Care at Home

Care for stroke patients

A stroke can have varying effects depending on its severity and how quickly it is spotted and treated. What happens after after a stroke varies from person to person. Some people can have TIAs (also known as mini-strokes) with minimal side effects whilst severe strokes can cause paralysis or mobility issues, problems with speech, swallowing and continence as well as emotional effects such as anxiety, depression and mood swings.

Adjusting to life after a stroke can be difficult for both the person who has experienced the stroke and their family. Suddenly and unexpectedly, someone can lose mobility, speech, memory and even a change in personality which can be a lot to come to terms with, not to mention both physically and mentally demanding for both parties.

It is important that there is respite for a family carer for their own mental wellbeing. As much as we love and want to care for our family – regular breaks are important to help you maintain the healthiest relationship and avoid tension and resentment. After stroke care at home can provide this additional help or allow someone to continue to work.
