Book Home Care for Stroke Recovery in Australia, Available 24/7

There are many ways we can support a loved one recovering from a stroke. From educating ourselves and managing finances, to making home modifications and helping with daily activities, being a family caregiver to someone recovering from a stroke is no mean feat. Sometimes, seeking professional care support can be beneficial, not only for the caregiver but also for the care recipient to receive quality care.

A stroke is a medical emergency. A person with a stroke will most likely be admitted to the emergency department immediately. Depending on the type of stroke and its severity, you will be given appropriate medication and may need to spend time in intensive or acute care. 

Stroke rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible, once the condition is stabilised. A stroke rehabilitation team usually includes doctors, nurses, neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists.

Stroke rehabilitation aims to help us relearn skills that may have been lost. Depending on the type of stroke and the extent of damage to our brain, different forms of therapy may be required. For those with mobility issues, physiotherapy may be required. If speech, language or swallowing abilities are affected, speech therapy can help. For those who need to re-learn how to perform everyday activities, an occupational therapist can help.

Upon hospital discharge, stroke rehabilitation should continue. This can be done at an inpatient rehabilitation unit, at a subacute rehabilitation facility, or at home. If your ability to perform activities of daily living has been affected, it can be helpful to have a family member or professional caregiver around throughout your recovery.

Most of the effects of stroke should improve with rehabilitation. If in doubt, always consult your stroke rehabilitation team.
