Stroke Patient Care in NYC

How we Help your Stroke Family Member

Caring For Stroke Patients

When a loved one has suffered a stroke, it can be a very stressful time for the entire family. At EvergreenChoice, we strive to help patients and their loved ones adapt to life after a stroke. The difficulties these patients face range from minor setbacks to major complications, and it’s important to be prepared for all circumstances.

Depending on which area of the brain has received the most damage during a stroke, as well as how much was damaged, the degree of disability will vary. While every patient is different after a stroke, there are five general areas of disability that may affect your loved one: movement control, language difficulties, memory loss, emotional disturbances, and physical pain.

What To Expect After a Stroke

Caring for a loved one after a stroke can take a toll on you. Depending on the severity of the stroke, your loved one can experience a wide range of difficulties that can make providing adequate care a challenge for the family. Stroke patients often have problems with movement and cognitive functions, including speech and memory. These patients often have trouble communicating, which can be frustrating for the caregiver.

Also, the difficulties one faces after a stroke can lead to serious emotional problems. Nearly one third of stroke patients over age 65 experience depression. As frustrating and difficult as it is caring for a loved one after a stroke, it is even more so for the patient’s. Because of the direct impairment of the brain, someone who has suffered a stroke may have trouble with perception, in terms of distance or size of an object, as well as damaged vision.

Stroke : Deciding Between Home Care or Facility Care

Sometimes, you just need a little help. That’s where home care professionals can be a big relief. The biggest benefit to home care is that your loved one can remain in the comfort of their own home. For stroke patients, this can be a big benefactor when it comes to improving memory loss.

Home care providers can assist your loved one in accomplishing their daily tasks, even if they have movement impairment or motor control issues. These caregivers provide personal support and care to your family member, and one on one attention. You can enjoy being a family again, and let the home care agency take care of the tedious tasks such as grooming, bathing, and medical care.

When choosing between a skilled nursing facility and home care, one of the biggest considerations is cost. Home care is usually the less expensive option, as assisted living homes can become very costly.

Also, it’s generally known that stroke victims often fare better when cared for in their own home. It’s also worth noting that home care can be a 24 hour service, and is sometimes necessary depending on the severity of the clients conditions.
