The best home care for stroke requires compassion and experience.
The prescreened, qualified stroke home caregivers we can refer to you are experienced with the
day-to-day needs of stroke survivors at every stage of their rehabilitation and recovery.
Adjusting to everyday life as a stroke survivor is physically and emotionally challenging.
Depression, anger, frustration, and other strong emotions are understandable. Compassionate
and patient home care that preserves your loved one’s dignity and safety allows him or her to
focus on adjusting and improving. Stroke home care services can be provided on a part-time
basis (typically 12 hours a day shift), in shifts, overnight, and on a full-time basis.
