FAQ
Care after a stroke is important to promote rehabilitation, help cope with daily routines and to manage risk factors such as any complications or recurrence. Having nursing or a care team who understand the process of stroke recovery will allow you to recover with the appropriate support with medication, rehabilitation and emotional support to you and your loved ones.
When recovering from a stroke, you will have a care plan that would focus on stroke care and rehabilitation. In the first few months, the care plan will revolve around preventing further complications. When suitable, the care plan will evolve to include rehabilitation for physical and motor skills, encouraging independent living and managing ongoing treatment and medication.
Supporting someone after stroke can be challenging and care needs will vary from person to person. Despite this, the basic needs remain the same. You can encourage rehabilitation exercises, encourage them to slowly adapt to daily life again and keep a record of the side effects they face from the medication they are taking. It will also be important to look out for any new stroke side effects and consult their doctor as soon as you notice anything unusual.
Holistic care will focus on treating the stroke, mental and emotional health as well as any social factors. Including all aspects of care will promote recovery and improve overall wellbeing. A holistic approach can facilitate a personalised approach as the patient is involved in making decisions about their care and are more likely to receive the appropriate support.
Hospice care is usually considered when a patient is near end of life and requires comprehensive support. The choice of going to hospice will depend on the advice from the medical team as well as the wishes of the patient. Similar to homecare, hospice care can be provided at any stage of the condition. Speaking to the medical team, GP and your loved one can help make the decision on whether the you should receive home or hospice care.
After a stroke, the patient will receive support looking after their teeth and mouth as good oral hygiene can help stay healthy by reducing germs in their mouth. Build-up of germs can lead to complications due to swallowing problems, changes to smell and taste, gum infections and tooth decay.
