Stroke Support

Support during stroke rehab and recovery is of utmost importance. Doctors, nurses and therapists may provide medical information, however, it is caregivers, friends and other stroke survivors that will truly help the stroke patient thrive at home. Setting up a good support system will pave the way for a more successful recovery. There are many stroke support groups and forums online for both patients and caregivers. Family, friends, or local church members can be recruited to help with the care of a stroke patient, especially when the primary caregiver is unavailable or needs a break. Paid caregivers are also available.

In addition, most countries have national organizations dedicated to stroke. These organizations will offer an abundance of free information and resources that can be used. Make sure to check for state, county or local resources as well. States often offer vocational rehabilitation programs, and local recreational centers may be available with adaptive fitness or programs for senior citizens.

Rehabilitation is undoubtedly a challenging process for both patients and caregivers. With proper treatment, support, and a positive outlook, you can make your recovery journey a successful one. This site is here to support you every step of the way. There is hope, there is help, and although the stroke recovery process may not always meet your expectations, there are resources to help you achieve your best results.
