Coordinated Home Care for Stroke Patients

Stroke is an injury to the brain caused by an interruption of the brain’s blood supply. Strokes may be caused by Thrombosis, a gradual narrowing and blockage of the neck or brain artery,  Embolism, blockage of the neck or brain artery by a clot, and Hemorrhage, a rupture of an artery in the brain or on its surface. When stroke occurs, hospitalization is critical to determine the cause and type of stroke as well as to treat and prevent any complications that may result. Surgery, as well as medications, may be needed to treat a stroke. Once the stroke survivor’s condition is stabilized and neurological deficits no longer appear to be progressing, rehabilitation begins. At Professional Healthcare at Home, we treat post-hospitalization patients and stroke survivors with home health services and personal care assistance. Stroke rehabilitation involves movement, balance, perception of space and body, bowel and bladder control, and language. 

In addition to these services, we can provide transportation to weekly doctor appointments and follow-up testing. Since Stroke patients require attentive treatment, we can offer home care, advice and informational resources to safeguard health. We can monitor any medication and provide a healthy road to recovery. Contact us now. Below are a few resources to stay informed about stroke:
