In-Home Care for Stroke Patients

Many stroke survivors are able to gradually rebuild their independence and continue enjoying their preferred lifestyles in their own homes indefinitely. But where the effects of a stroke are more severe, an individual may need round-the-clock help and support to ensure their wellbeing.

At Certain Care, we specialise in bespoke in-home care and support for stroke patients across the UK. Our personalised live-in care solutions are tailored to meet the unique requirements of every patient we support, with flexible options available to suit all budgets.

Whether concerned about your own care requirements or those of a loved one, we would be delighted to provide you with an obligation-free consultation to discuss the options available. Call or e-mail the team at Certain Care anytime for more information on the benefits of live-in stroke care.

The effects of a stroke can have a devastating impact on the lives of those affected, along with friends and family members who assume responsibility for their care.

With the help of Certain Care, stroke patients and their loved ones can benefit from round-the-clock coverage of all essential support requirements, including but not limited to:

·        Assistance with everyday health care and rehabilitation

·        Organisation of modifications to improve mobility at home

·        Coordination of other care services and transportation

·        Management and administration of medicines and supplements

·        Coverage of all everyday housekeeping duties

·        Shopping, cooking and serving meals in accordance with patients’ preferences

·        Round-the-clock companionship for those who live alone

·        Assistance with daily activities and trips away from home

·        Looking after family pets and other responsibilities

When a stroke patient returns home from a hospital or intermediate care setting, their ongoing rehabilitation is often reliant on intensive support services. At Certain Care, our goal is to provide the tailored care and support stroke patients need to continue living in their own homes indefinitely, avoiding the requirement to move into permanent residential care.

The earlier a stroke patient is provided with the tailored in-home care and support they need, the higher the likelihood of their successful recovery and rehabilitation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can stroke patients live alone in their own homes?

A stroke can be anything from mild and relatively superfluous to devastatingly disabling or even fatal. It is therefore possible for some stroke patients to live alone in their own homes, having suffered a mild stroke and experienced minimal side-effects. However, patients who suffer more severe strokes may find it difficult or impossible to live alone, without extensive support.

Is it necessary for stroke patients to move into permanent care?

The nature and extent of a stroke will determine whether a patient requires permanent round-the-clock care, in order to ensure their wellbeing. However, it is possible for patients who suffer severe strokes to continue living in their own homes indefinitely, if provided with appropriate live-in care. It may therefore not be necessary for a stroke patient to move into residential care, even after suffering a severe and extensive stroke.

Can a stroke patient recover or is the damage permanent?

A patient’s prognosis will always vary on the basis of the severity of the stroke they suffered, along with their age and other health/lifestyle factors. Many patients who suffer strokes and subsequently undergo a programme of rehabilitation can recover effectively, enabling them to continue living their preferred lifestyles without the need for ongoing care.
