It will be easier for your family member to heal and regain their independence with the help of our skilled and kind caregivers.

Why Choose Visiting Angels Charlottesville for Stroke Recovery Care?

For over two decades, Visiting Angels Charlottesville has provided stroke recovery care services to elderly clients in Nelson, Green, Orange or Albermarle counties. The danger of a second stroke is high for elderly people who are recuperating from the first one, but with the aid of a devoted, professional caregiver from our team, your loved one will get the support they need to recover in their own home.

If your loved one has suffered speech impairment due to a stroke, our caregivers will engage in daily conversation with them to facilitate recovery. If your loved one has trouble with preparing meals, getting from room to room or driving, our caregivers can provide the assistance they need. We can also motivate your loved one to follow the recommendations of their physical or occupational therapists by helping them with things like folding clean clothes, buttoning shirts and light exercise. If your loved one has follow-up appointments with their healthcare provider to aid in their recovery, our caregivers can take them to their appointment and take them home afterward

Our care plans are unique to each individual, which is a huge plus. When it comes to home care, we think all seniors should get the attention they need to age in place comfortably and happily. That's why we'll tailor the stroke recovery care we provide to your loved one's specific needs, ensuring that they get just the in-home assistance they'll appreciate most as they get back on their feet after a stroke. Also, we will be flexible with your loved one's schedule to ensure that they can keep up with their usual activities. Best of all, our stroke recovery care services will help your loved one recover in a setting that is familiar and comfortable.

Seek support. Community resources, such as stroke survivor and caregiver support groups, are available for you and your loved one.

Learn the ins and outs of insurance coverage. Consult with your loved one’s healthcare provider, case manager, social worker or insurance company to find out how much and how long insurance (private or government-supported will cover medical and rehabilitation services in and out of the hospital and to determine out-of-pocket expenses. This can vary substantially from one case to another.

Know when to enlist help. If rehabilitation services are denied due to lack of “medical necessity,” ask your loved one’s healthcare provider to provide records to the insurance carrier and, if necessary, call the insurance company.

Know your rights. You have access to your loved one’s medical and rehabilitation records, including written notes and brain imaging films.

Take care of you. Take a break from caregiving by asking another family member, friend or neighbor to help while you take time for yourself. Eat healthy, exercise and get adequate rest.
