Stroke

All strokes are different. For some people the effects may be relatively minor and may not last long, while others may be left with more serious long-term problems.  You may experience muscle weakness or stiffness, feel emotional or anxious about the future and how to cope with the challenges you now face.

We can provide the extra support you need to manage these challenges. Our experienced team will provide practical, emotional and social support to help you return to a normal and independent life.  Together we create a personalised support plan to help you achieve your goals.  The services we offer include:

• Support to relearn skills and new ways of managing tasks of day to day living;
• Assistance  in the morning with washing, dress and have breakfast;
• Support to be involved in activities that are important to you.  For example, participating in hobbies and social activities;
• Practical help with housework, shopping and laundry;
• Assistance with managing your medicines;
• Preparing nutritious meals and providing the support you need to eat and stay hydrated in order to reduce the risk of further strokes;
• A night time visit to assist you comfortably into bed.
