After Stroke Care in Edmonton
High-Quality Stroke Care for Seniors in Edmonton
The effects of a stroke can vary significantly from individual to individual. However, some symptoms are common, including paralysis, weakness, difficulty communicating, and loss of coordination. Prompt care and selecting the right team following a stroke can significantly impact recovery. This is where Home Care Assistance of Edmonton comes in.
Assistance with Daily Tasks During Stroke Recovery
After experiencing a stroke, seniors often have difficulty managing essential daily tasks such as:
- Transferring from a chair or bed to standing
- Preparing meals
- Keeping track of new medications
- Communicating
- Getting to doctor or physical therapy appointments
- Dressing, bathing, and grooming
- Managing incontinence
- Completing exercises as prescribed by a physical therapist
The stroke recovery caregivers at Edmonton Home Care Assistance are trained to assist with these and many other important tasks. We provide personalized non-medical support that boosts spirits, keeps clients motivated, and empowers seniors throughout the stroke recovery process. Our stroke care professionals encourage seniors to regain independence while also providing valuable assistance, monitoring, and observation to make home a safer and more comfortable place to return to.
