Stroke is a very serious medical condition that is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. The risk of having a stroke increases when adults reach the age of 55, and this risk more than doubles every ten years. This means that senior citizens over the age of 65 are much more likely to have a stroke and the effects can be devastating as up to 45 percent of those who suffer a stroke will either die or be permanently disabled. For those who survive a stroke, it is extremely important for them to get the proper care to avoid having another stroke which could be deadly.
If you have a family member who has survived a stroke, then you know that they need consistent care to make a recovery. It can be very difficult for families to provide the level of care that stroke survivors need without some assistance. At Assisting Hands, we provide stroke recovery and care services to help families care for a member who has survived a stroke. Our caregivers are highly trained and have experience providing effective care for stroke patients.
