Elderly Home Care for Stroke Recovery
Our Care Managers can meet with you to discuss your specific care needs and perform consultations at home or in a hospital or facility setting. We are also able to coordinate that care with the medical professionals overseeing treatment, such as the doctor’s office, home health team, therapists, and other medical teams as needed.
We strive to coordinate our care with the medical professionals attending to your loved one’s medical needs. Because of this commitment to communication, we can adjust the type of care your loved one needs, depending on their medical specialist’s requests.
The America Stroke Association recommends these simple lifestyle changes to reduce your chance of having a recurring stroke:
- Quit smoking altogether
- Limit alcohol and other similar substances
- Monitor your cholesterol levels
- Manage your diabetes
- Be consistent with exercise at an adequate level
- Eat foods low in sodium and fat
- Monitor circulation problems with the help of your doctor
- Follow doctor’s orders
The American Heart Association predicts that 795,000 Americans will experience a stroke this year. People with prior history of strokes are more likely to suffer another within a year from the first incident. That’s why it’s important to pay special attention to the recovery phase and the appropriate changes in the patient’s lifestyle.
Additionally, few Americans know the signs and symptoms of a stroke. Learning them and acting FAST when they occur could save your life or the life of a loved one.
Common stroke symptoms include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg—especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
Use the F.A.S.T. test for recognizing and responding to stroke symptoms:
- F = FACE (Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?)
- A = ARMS (Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?)
- S = SPEECH (Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?)
- T = TIME (If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1 or get to the nearest stroke center or hospital.)
