When Elderly and Senior individuals suffer a stroke and come home, they’re urged to live a healthier lifestyle. Nutrition, exercise, monitoring blood pressure, quitting smoking/drinking, are the main recommendations. Of course it’s up to the Elderly individual how rigorously they want to pursue healthy living. Realistically a lot of people know they should be living healthier, but don’t for one reason or another. This article from healthtalkonline.org titled Preventing Another Stroke: Changes in Life Style provides information on recommended lifestyle changes and also provides links to real stroke survivors who did or did not follow the recommended lifestyle change. For example, one man talks about how after his stroke, he did less exercise, but tries to balance it out with a healthy diet and taking prescribed medication.
At A-1 Home Care, we place healthy living in very high regard when it comes to stroke survivors. We know that encouraging your loved one to lead a healthier lifestyle can be difficult after they’ve had a stroke, especially when you can’t be there for them all the time to provide encouragement and care. A-1 Home Care provides compassionate and dedicated Post Stroke Care services on a 24 hour Live-In Care or Hourly Care basis in Fountain Valley, CA.
Our Post Stroke Caregivers can assist with various tasks such as complying with doctor/therapist orders, providing personal care, assistance with mobility, healthy meal preparation, exercise, errands, and anything else that you specify. We know that the recovery process may be long and discouraging at times, but having someone with your loved one to provide emotional support and motivation can be a great morale booster.
