How Stroke Recovery Care at Home Helps Seniors in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Areas
After having a stroke, most aging adults have to deal with a number of physical and mental difficulties. Some of them include partial paralysis on one side of the face or body, temporary memory loss and some type of speech impairment. As the Stroke Awareness Foundation found that nearly two-thirds of all stroke survivors end up with a permanent disability, you can see why promoting stroke recovery by any means possible is extremely important, especially for seniors.
After being discharged from the hospital, many seniors recover from a stroke in their own homes. While in-home care can be highly beneficial for elderly stroke survivors because it allows them to remain in familiar surroundings (which can be especially helpful for those dealing with memory and cognitive issues after a stroke), it also means they'll need more hands-on care and support. Not only will they need someone to help out with everyday tasks that could put too much strain on them, but they also need someone to keep an eye on them and ensure they're following recommendations from their doctor. Because the level of care elderly stroke survivors needs can exceed the level of care that family caregivers are typically able to provide, many families in Richmond and surrounding areas choose to hire professional in-home caregivers.
