After Stroke Care at home

The after-effects of a stroke can be more than just physical, they can be long term and life changing. Strokes can occur to people at all stages of life and can have a very sudden and devastating impact on all involved.

The person may have suffered discernible changes to speech, muscle control or swallowing, but the less obvious effects such as fatigue, memory loss, depression and difficulty communicating all take patience and constant encouragement to reassure and rehabilitate the individual.

Regaining independence is key to stroke recovery and there is nowhere better to achieve this than in the comfort of your own home. Being familiar with your surroundings goes a long way to increasing your confidence and reducing your anxiety whilst you try to master the skills which are crucial to your rehabilitation.

Dedicated, around-the-clock stroke care

One in four stroke sufferers will go on to have a repeat attack within five years, and the 30 days following the initial stroke are peak time for this to occur. The benefits of having a one-on-one, live-in carer means that nothing is left to chance and subtle differences in reactions and behaviour can be monitored and addressed early.

Our expert carers are trained in Ischaemic (mini stroke) and Haemorrhagic conditions and your Ivy Home Care package will support a swift hospital discharge to allow you or your loved one to get home and start the path to rehabilitation as soon as possible.

A one-to-one home care plan means that your carer can follow exact treatments, diet plans and other lifestyle changes to best support you or your loved one.

The psychological and physical aftereffects experienced by the victim of a stroke are usually addressed by a team of different specialists. Ivy Home Carers are highly trained and can offer you a range of expert care skills delivered around-the-clock when you are being cared for at home. Day and night, as you need it.

Our live-in carers are trained to provide basic physio, speech and language support, anxiety and depression counselling and, most importantly, patience and motivation to help you and your family adjust to new circumstances following a stroke.
