The level of immediacy that stroke creates for the victim and family members can oftentimes be very scary and emotionally damaging. It’s incredibly difficult because many family members must alter their own lifestyle in order to compensate for the care of their loved one. A stroke occurs when brain tissue is destroyed or damaged because of lack of blood flow to the brain due to a blocked or burst blood vessel.
For family members, it’s important to learn all you can about stroke and the available rehabilitation options that your loved one will need, as soon as you find out the extent of damage your loved one is facing. This PDF from the National Stroke Association provides all you need to know about rehabilitation programs and how to choose the best one. Options range from inpatient rehab hospitals to rehab services that can take place in the home.
When your Elderly or Senior loved one is ready to come home after receiving rehabilitation services, A-1 Home Care can provide dedicated in-home living assistance when you’re unable to provide the care. We specialize in Post Stroke Care services on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis to assist your loved one in all aspects of daily living. Our caregivers assist with personal care, daily meal preparation, mobility assistance, errands, and following any doctor or therapist orders such as medication, nutrition, or exercise guidelines.
All of our Post Stroke caregivers, nurse aides, companions, and home helpers must have prior at home caregiving experience, verifiable professional references, a National Background Check/DMV Check, Tuberculosis testing, Malpractice/Liability insurance, First Aid/CPR training, and a personal interview with our office staff.
We serve the LA communities of Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Altadena, Sierra Madre, Covina, Glendora, San Dimas, Monrovia, Diamond Bar, and others in Los Angeles County.
