How Home Care Providers Assist in Stroke Rehabilitation
If a family member, close friend, neighbor, or loved one has recently suffered a stroke, you and your family no doubt have questions. Coming to terms with the possible long term side effects and disability from a stroke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you need to plan for your loved ones future. Will he or she be able to return to their previous living situation? Or would it be a better choice to have them live with you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at a long-term care facility, or if your loved one still wishes to remain in the comfort of home with assistance from a home care aide. Managing the after effects of a loved one's stroke along with the needs and feelings of yourself and other family members can be a stressful time-home care providers can provide the kind of support your loved one needs.
The first step is to decide how much care your loved one will need. Unfortunately for many stroke victims,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is no concrete timeline for recovery. Despite the uncertainty of life after stroke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can begin weighing the options of home care for your loved one-only then can you decide what's best for him or her and the rest of your family. If it's unsafe for your loved one to return to their own home or previous living arrangement but it's against your wishes (or their wishes) to be placed in a long-term care facility, you may want to consider a home care provider. Home care providers and aides assisted with household tasks (cleaning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], laundry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meal preparation) and can make life easier on your loved one, his or her spouse, or your own family. Your home care provider can oversee daily medication,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], check all vitals (temperature, blood pressure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and pulse),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and encourage light to moderate exercise. Home care providers help with activities of daily living but do not provide medical care for stroke victims.
Before making your decision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], consult with your loved one's doctor-he or sill will be able to help you determine what kind of home care is best for their future,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], both short term and long term. It's a good idea to request a detailed evaluation of the brain injury caused by the stroke,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and set up a consultation before you begin looking at specific care needs.
Important Questions to Ask: Determining the Type of Care Your Loved One Needs
Will my loved one be able to get dressed by himself/herself?
Will he/she be able to feed herself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Will he/she be able to get out of bed without assistance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Will my loved one be incontinent?
Will he/she be able to take a shower by herself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Should we expect any behavioral changes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
Will he/she have trouble communicating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]?
What chance of long-term medical complications is my loved one facing?
These questions will determine what level of care or home care is best for your loved one. Home Care Providers make it possible for older individuals to live independent lives and remain in the comfort and safety of their own home that holds a lifetime of memories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even despite diminished health or physical capabilities caused by a stroke. Choose a flexible and compassionate home care provider to work with your elderly loved one and their family to come up with a safe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reliable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and tailored service to your loved one.
