While the stroke itself may only last a moment, the recovery could take months or years. Immediate stroke treatment is administered in a hospital. However, recovery doesn’t end once a patient is discharged. A stroke often causes patients to lose basic functions. Following the stroke, it takes specialised care to ensure that recovery occurs.

Healing at Home

Your loved one has the option of recovering in a rehabilitation centre. However, research has shown that healing at home improves the process. Instead of being bound to a bed in a facility that they’re unfamiliar with, why not surround your loved one with the things that bring them comfort? By hiring an in-home caregiver, you can still provide the basic care and assistance needed without having to relocate your family member. Administering care in their own home allows your loved one to regain their strength more quickly and comfortably in a safe environment.

A stroke leaves many patients feeling vulnerable. It strips them of a lot of their independence. It may not be easy for them to bathe themselves, feed themselves, or remember how to tie their shoes. This may lead to frustration and discouragement. Depending on the severity of the stroke, around-the-clock care may be necessary. Many family members attempt to handle this sort of care on their own. Over time, they become burnt out, stressed, and discouraged. Don’t let this happen to you. Instead, hire an in-home caregiver.

Based on the recommendations of physical, occupational, and speech therapists, Saar@Home can implement a treatment plan specifically designed to improve your loved one’s condition. Saar@Home works closely with practitioners to ensure that your family member’s needs are being met and that progress is occurring.
