Post-Stroke Care
Dignified Homecare After Suffering A Stroke
Defining Post-Stroke Care
Recovering from a stroke, also known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), can profoundly affect not only the survivor but also their family and loved ones. However, this journey doesn’t need to unfold in an unfamiliar setting. Many stroke victims have successfully regained their independence with the support of high-quality home care.
At Connected Health, we provide compassionate, comprehensive homecare services to families across Ireland. Our carers are fully trained and skilled in supporting stroke patients, whether through critical- time assistance or 24/7 live-in-care. We are dedicated to helping survivors stay in their own homes, fostering an environment that promotes recovery and maximises independence.
- Post-Stroke Care is a holistic service, tailored to meet the unique rehabilitation needs of stroke patients. This comprehensive approach includes:
- Physical therapy to restore mobility and strength
- Speech and language therapy to overcome communication challenges.
- Cognitive rehabilitation to address memory and thinking difficulties.
- Support for daily living tasks to ease the transition back to normal routines.
Connected Health is at the forefront of offering stroke survivors and their families the support they require and deserve. We are committed to creating an empowering atmosphere that accelerates recovery, reinstates independence, and ensures that care is delivered within the comforting embrace of home.
Who Should Consider Post-Stroke Care?
This care is essential for anyone recovering from a stroke, particularly those dealing with physical impairments, speech difficulties, or cognitive alterations. It offers families the reassurance that their loved one is receiving all-encompassing care focused on maximising recovery, thereby allowing them to concentrate on providing emotional support and cherishing valuable moments together.
The Ideal Time to Arrange Post-Stroke Care
The conversation about Post-Stroke Care should begin whilst the patient is still hospitalised. Early planning for homecare ensures a fluid transition from hospital to home, enabling continued recovery in a serene and familiar environment. This proactive approach fosters both healing and peace of mind for the family.

The duration of homecare necessary post-stroke depends on the stroke’s severity and the patient’s rate of improvement. Some may benefit from a few weeks of care, while others might need more extended support.
Families play a crucial role in our care model. We actively involve them in planning, ensure they are kept abreast of the patient’s progress, and offer training to help them effectively contribute to their loved one’s recovery at home.
While individual recovery outcomes vary, our primary objective is to enhance each patient’s independence to the fullest extent. Our all-encompassing rehabilitation approach is tailored to improve functional capabilities as much as possible.
Recognising the significant emotional toll of a stroke, we provide access to counselling and support groups for both patients and their families. Our caregivers are trained in offering emotional support and fostering positive coping mechanisms.
We thoroughly evaluate each patient’s unique challenges and recovery aspirations. A personalised care plan is then formulated, incorporating specific therapies and activities aimed at meeting the distinct needs arising from the stroke.
