Stroke Care At Home

Recovering from a stroke can bring big changes for both the individual and their family. Live-in stroke care at home allows your loved one to receive tailored support, continue their recovery in familiar surroundings, maintain routines, and rebuild confidence every step of the way.

Our trained live-in carers provide practical assistance and companionship 24 hours a day. They help with mobility, rehabilitation exercises, daily activities, and emotional well-being, without the disruption of moving into residential care.

What is Live-in Stroke Care at Home?

Live-in care for stroke patients means a dedicated carer lives in the home to provide round-the-clock support. Consistency and reassurance are vital during recovery, and having trained support at home can make a significant difference, whether the goal is regaining independence or managing long-term effects.

Who is it for?

Our live-in stroke care service is suitable for everyone who needs support at home, whether for themselves or a family member.

Live-in stroke care can support:

People recovering from mild, moderate, or severe stroke
Individuals experiencing long-term effects, such as mobility or communication issues
Those who wish to continue their rehabilitation at home rather than moving into residential care or a nursing home
Families looking for consistent, one-to-one stroke recovery support and peace of mind

Client Stories: Life After Stroke

Teresa, Dorset

“My family was struggling to find suitable and affordable care for our father, who is physically disabled and lives with multiple long-term conditions following a stroke and falls. Promedica24 was recommended to us, and our initial phone call to Mark proved extremely reassuring. After this initial call, things happened quickly as we had made Mark aware of the urgency of our situation. 

Within less than two weeks, the carer was in place and is proving to be a wonderful match for Dad, who seems very comfortable with him. Both Mark and Tracey are in regular contact with us and with the carer and dad to monitor how things are panning out. The family feels comforted and relieved that Dad is in the hands of such a professional, comforting and caring company. They have taken the stress out of an extremely difficult situation.”

Daughter, Dorset

“Following a life-changing stroke one year ago, my mum spent 6 weeks in hospital, then 5 months in a care home until we could find her a more suitable house to call home. I contacted Mark at Promedica,24, and he was so helpful and kind. I felt that he truly took an interest in what would be best for Mum and helped supply her with someone who could help her settle into her new home. I was not disappointed! 

The first carer mum had turned that new space into a home and settled mum into a regular routine. Mum now has her second carer and she is absolutely amazing. We feel so secure in knowing that Mum is very safe in her care. She truly has mum’s best interests at heart and looks after every single detail when we are not there to assist. Mum thinks the world of her, and whilst it has not been an easy journey over the past year, Ksenia has made the situation a lot more satisfying for Mum. She is an exemplary carer and we feel truly blessed to have such a lovely person looking after Mum.”

Understanding Stroke and Recovery

What is a stroke?

A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to be damaged or die. Effects can include difficulties with movement, speech, memory, or emotions. Recovery varies for each person, but stroke care at home can help rebuild confidence and maintain independence.

For more information on the causes and effects of stroke, visit the NHS Stroke Overview.

FAST Test and early signs of stroke

Recognising stroke symptoms early can save lives. The FAST test stroke is a simple way to check:

F – Face: Can the person smile? Has one side of the face dropped?
A – Arms: Can both arms be raised and held up?
S – Speech: Is speech slurred or strange?
T – Time: Call 999 immediately if you notice these signs.
Read our blog on stroke signs and prevention

Common Stroke Symptoms and Effects

The impact of a stroke depends on its severity and the area of the brain affected. Understanding these effects helps shape the right care and support plan for recovery. Common after-effects include:

Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
Speech and language difficulties
Problems with memory, concentration, or vision
Emotional changes, including anxiety or depression
Post stroke fatigue, which can affect daily routines and motivation

What are the different types of stroke?

Strokes can affect different parts of the brain, and understanding the type of stroke can help families and carers plan the right support at home. Each person’s recovery journey is unique, and our live-in carers work closely with healthcare professionals to provide stroke recovery support tailored to individual needs.

The main types of stroke are:

Ischaemic stroke

This is the most common type, caused by a blockage in a blood vessel supplying the brain. It can lead to weakness, speech difficulties, or vision problems depending on which area of the brain is affected. Treatment often includes medication to prevent further clots, alongside rehabilitation at home.

Haemorrhagic stroke

This occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding. It is less common but can be more severe. Recovery may require surgery or specialist medical care, and ongoing stroke care at home focuses on safe rehabilitation and support with daily activities.

Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)

Sometimes called a “mini-stroke,” a TIA produces stroke-like symptoms that usually resolve within 24 hours. Even though the symptoms are temporary, a TIA is a serious warning and should be treated as a medical emergency. After stroke care at home often includes monitoring, lifestyle changes, and support with any lingering difficulties.
