Identify the Signs of a Stroke with Visiting Angels Palm Beach Gardens
Aside from providing top-level in-home senior care for older adults in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Juno Beach, FL, our at-home caregivers are also proactive in identifying possible health issues, including if your loved one is having a stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is reduced or completely blocked. Since the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients to function properly, brain cells die. A stroke is a severe medical emergency that leads to various health problems and even causes death. Recognizing signs of stroke and acting on time can be a true lifesaver.
By keeping an eye on your parent and identifying signs of stroke the moment they show, our at-home caregivers can prevent significant damage to the brain from occurring, thus making a complete recovery possible.
Providing Proactive Care for Seniors Suffering from a Stroke
Identifying stroke symptoms on time can be crucial to a senior’s recovery. Most common are arm, leg, or face numbness or paralysis on just one side or both sides of the body, difficulties talking, slurring and understanding words, blurred, double or blackened vision, severe headache, dizziness, vomiting, and loss of balance.
If your loved one shows one or more of these common symptoms, there are several ways you can immediately check whether they are having a stroke:
- Ask your parent to smile, and if one side of their face drops, they are probably having a stroke.
- You can also ask them to raise their arms; if they drift downward, they will likely have a stroke.
- If your loved one cannot repeat a simple sentence and has problems with talking, you need to react fast.
When you recognize these signs, call emergency services because time is of the essence when someone is having a stroke.
