Recovery after sustaining a stroke takes time. It is a slow, arduous journey with many physical and mental challenges. After a stroke, many individuals are left with partial paralysis to one side of the body or one side of the face and have to deal with issues such as memory loss and speech impairment.

To make matters worse, more than two-thirds of all stroke survivors are left with a permanent disability. For this reason, promoting healing and helping your loved one in any way you can should be your number one priority.

Providing care for a loved one before a stroke and being able to address their post-stroke needs adequately are entirely different things. Successful recovery from a stroke requires high levels of assistance and support. For this reason, it may be best if professional in-home care providers handle your loved one’s care.

At Visiting Angels East Bernard, we can provide expert stroke care for moms or Dads and help them restore their health in their home.
