Overview
About Stroke Recovery
A stroke can change how you walk, use your hands, speak, swallow, or remember things. Our registered nurses monitor your blood pressure, organize your medications, and help prevent complications while you heal. At the same time, physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with you on the everyday skills that matter most to your independence.
We also care deeply about your family caregivers. We show them safe ways to help you transfer from bed to chair, communicate without frustration, and manage the health factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar that help protect against another stroke.
What's included
- Skilled nursing checkups, blood pressure tracking, and health monitoring
- Medication management, including blood thinners and blood pressure prescriptions
- Physical therapy focused on balance, leg strength, and walking safely
- Occupational therapy for dressing, bathing, meal prep, and hand coordination
- Speech-language therapy for clear speech, word-finding, memory, and safe swallowing
- Room-by-room home safety and fall prevention recommendations
- Hands-on caregiver coaching for safe transfers and daily routines
- Education on stroke warning signs and long-term prevention

What to expect
Your care, step by step.
Step 1: Referral & orders
Your doctor sends orders over, or you give us a call and we reach out to your doctor's office for you.
Step 2: Nurse assessment
One of our registered nurses visits you at home, listens to how you are doing, and goes over your medical needs.
Step 3: Your plan of care
We partner with your doctor to map out the right services, visit schedule, and recovery goals for you.
Step 4: Care & coordination
Your team visits on schedule, shows your family how to help, and keeps your doctor in the loop as you get stronger.
Staying safe
Know the signs of stroke: BE FAST
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. A registered nurse is always on call by phone after office hours, on weekends, and on holidays.
- B (Balance): sudden loss of balance or coordination
- E (Eyes): sudden blurred or lost vision in one or both eyes

- T (Time): call 911 right away if you spot any of these signs
For chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, severe bleeding or any emergency, call 911.
Can stroke rehabilitation really happen at home?
Yes. Practicing in your actual living space means you learn how to navigate your own front steps, bathroom, and kitchen safely. When ordered by your doctor, physical, occupational, and speech therapists come right to your home.
My loved one coughs when drinking water after their stroke. Can you help?
Yes. Trouble swallowing is common after a stroke and needs prompt attention. A speech-language pathologist can evaluate swallowing at home and recommend safer liquid consistencies, food textures, and posture adjustments.
How do you support family caregivers during stroke recovery?
Family members are at the heart of stroke recovery. We show you how to protect your own back during transfers, how to practice therapy exercises together between visits, and how to encourage independence safely.
