Stroke care at home
We understand the challenges that come with recovering from a stroke. Our compassionate, professional carers are here to provide the specialised support you or your loved one needs, right in the comfort of home.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs. This can lead to serious health complications and requires immediate attention.
Types of Stroke
- Ischaemic Stroke: Caused by a blockage or clot in the blood vessels leading to the brain.
- Haemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by bleeding in or around the brain due to a burst blood vessel.
- Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA): Often called a “mini-stroke,” it involves a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain and serves as a warning sign for a potential full stroke.
Signs and Symptoms:
- Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, often on one side of the body.
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech.
- Sudden vision problems in one or both eyes.
- Severe headache with no known cause.
- Loss of balance, dizziness, or coordination issues.
