Resources for Caregivers & Survivors
Resources for Stroke Patient Caregivers
Caring for a stroke survivor’s needs is a big job. It’s important that caregivers also prioritize their own needs. Taking breaks and reaching out for support are essential to your wellbeing when taking care of a loved one after a stroke.
Community resources, such as adult day care, meal programs, home health aide services, homemaker assistance and respite care may be helpful during this transition period. Ask the doctors and nurses on your family’s care team for information on additional local resources.
