Stroke Care

Our trained caregivers are experienced in providing Stroke care.

Stroke - What is it?

A stroke is a condition in which a blood vessel that carries oxygen to the brain is either blocked by a clot or ruptured, leading to the damage and death of both brain cells and or brain tissue.

Early warning signs

Sudden numbness in the legs, arms or face, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, difficulty speaking and or understanding speech
Sudden vision loss in one or both eyes
Use the F.A.S.T acronym to remember stroke signs: F = facial drooping, A = arm weaknesses, S = speech difficulty, T = time to call 911 (if any of these symptoms are present)

Impact on Quality of Life

Strokes are subjective as they can affect individuals in differing ways. Some stroke survivors may experience a partial paralysis of the body; many experience impediments in speech. Regardless of the specific, the aftermath of a stroke can be detrimental and can often greatly impact one's life in both the short and long term.

Live-in Care is better for seniors who need stroke care and related conditions
