Recovering from a Stroke
Recovery from a stroke can be a long, slow and gradual process and most people will not be fully recovered when it’s time to leave hospital.
They are likely to need ongoing rehabilitation at home and this can be a daunting time, not only for the person who has had the stroke, but for the person who is caring for them.
After the initial recovery from a stroke, improvements are gradual and this can be frustrating for everyone.
Caring for someone who has had a stroke is physically and emotionally demanding. Help may be needed with even simple tasks like washing and dressing. There may be difficulties in understanding and communicating, depression and mood swings.
