Stroke care, completely tailored to you
A stroke, or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), can have a life-changing impact on a person. By providing care at home, we’re helping families across the country to receive the support they need in the place where they feel the most comfortable, confident and independent.
Our stroke aftercare is tailored around the effects on your stroke, and focuses on helping you and your family get back on your feet.
There are many benefits of stroke aftercare at home, such as:
Recover more quickly:
The home is a good place for relearning skills and adapting to physical limitations, which can make the recuperation process quicker after a stroke
Maintain your routines:
With the support of your own personal carer, you’ll be able to continue with your regular routines, activities and chores to whatever extent you wish
A friendly, familiar environment:
Receive all the additional care you require without having to leave the familiar sights, comforts and surroundings of your own home
Personalised care:
Whether you opt for visiting care or live-in care, being supported at home means your care plan will be fully tailored to your personal support needs
One-to-one support:
Opting for stroke aftercare at home from Helping Hands gives you the opportunity to receive dedicated one-to-one care from your own carer
Avoid the stress of moving:
The alternative to care at home is usually to move to a residential care home, which involves having to go through the stress and strain of moving your life
Expert stroke aftercare overseen by nurses
Our nurse-led stroke aftercare supports you and your needs in the place you love the most.
The beauty of choosing home care with Helping Hands is that your local care specialist will work closely with you, your family, district nurse, hospital, GP and other healthcare organisations to develop a stroke care plan that suits your needs.
Our number one priority is making sure you have an aftercare plan in place that that’s entirely focused around your needs, your routines and your lifestyle. You’ll even get the chance to choose a carer with similar interests and hobbies to you.
