Recovering from a stroke can be challenging and it can be hard to know what care services are available if there is a long road ahead.
Alongside the physical impact, many people will face emotional and cognitive challenges that can make everyday life difficult without the right support in place.
At Almond Care, our live-in care services can help clients recover safely in the comfort of their own home with round-the-clock care tailored to their needs.
What happens when someone has a stroke?
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, either by a blockage or a burst blood vessel.
This disruption deprives the brain cells of oxygen and causes varying degrees of damage, depending on the severity of the stroke and the location.
The aftereffects of a stroke can include:
Why is live-in care beneficial for stroke recovery?
After the initial medical treatment, many people who have suffered a stroke will require ongoing rehabilitation and support.
Some individuals may even struggle with their mobility, eating, coordination or communication and this can make independent living challenging.
Live-in care provides continuous, one-to-one support in familiar surroundings, so that clients can stay around the people and routines they know and love.
Being around familiar photos, furniture, pets and neighbours can also be extremely beneficial for a client’s wellbeing.
Nighttime can be especially difficult for clients and our 24/7 overnight support can help you get up and down to use the bathroom or manage any discomfort.
At Almond Care, we want to help reduce the stress of having to relocate for your health and maintain as much normality during this difficult time.
How can our live-in care services help?
Our live-in care services can help clients recover from a stroke while allowing them to live life on their own terms.
Our fully qualified and experienced carers will get to know the needs, personal preferences and personality of clients so they can build a trusting relationship with them.
Our live-in care services include:
At Almond Care, we provide personalised care plans that change as clients’ needs and recovery progress do. We can support clients with their personal care, household tasks, hospital appointments and social activities.
Just as importantly, our carers offer genuine companionship and provide peace of mind that someone is always there to help.
