In-Home Specialized Stroke Care & Assistance
Did you know that about 75% of strokes occur in people that are 65 years of age or older?
This is a testament to the fact that strokes affect seniors more than any other age group, and some studies have shown that the chances of having a stroke double every decade after we reach 55 years of age.
If your loved one has experienced a stroke, and you’ve been functioning as their primary caregiver, you may not know how to safely deal with a stroke patient living at home.
But you don’t have to manage stroke patient care alone. Qualicare is here to help.
Our helpful local support care experts can provide around-the-clock nursing care for stroke patients living at home, so that you don’t have to carry the weight of these responsibilities alone.
In turn, we can help your loved one maintain a better quality of life, and give you an opportunity to step back and take a breath when you need it.
Our At-Home Stroke Care Services
Contrary to what you might think, many people actually ignore the symptoms of a small stroke, especially if those symptoms go away over time.
However, these mild or ‘silent strokes’ can have a huge negative impact on our bodies over time, especially if seniors are experiencing multiple small strokes.
Like certain other conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s, strokes can lead to sudden weakness, confusion, difficulty with vision, loss of balance, dizziness, and even cripplingly severe headaches.
Our compassionate caregivers can provide home nursing care for stroke patients, regardless of the severity of their current condition and symptoms. It will all start with a comprehensive, person-centered care plan for the stroke patient, which is based entirely on their individual needs.
Once we have a personalized care plan for the stroke patient in place, our helpful caregivers can offer as much or as little support as your loved one requires – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Benefits of In-Home Care for Strokes
There’s no single style of treatment that will work for every stroke patient care plan, since each person could experience symptoms uniquely and at varying levels of severity.
Overall, caring for a stroke patient at home isn’t easy. It can be exhausting, especially when their symptoms become severe, and they may become disoriented or panicked due to confusion.
For family members that don’t know how to deal with a stroke patient living at home, these situations can become frightening or even dangerous for both you and your loved one.
Letting Qualicare provide home nursing care for stroke patients takes the weight off your shoulders, and gives you the freedom to step back out of the primary caregiver role, so you can get back to enjoying the time you get to spend together; instead of feeling like you’re always on duty.
With our team’s 360-degree specialized care, you’ll never have to worry about whether your loved one has the support they need – day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Where Can Qualicare Clients Access Stroke Patient Care?
We can provide services caring for a stroke patient living at home, in nursing facilities, hospitals, or within retirement communities.
Can Qualicare Teach Family Members How to Deal with a Stroke Patient Living at Home?
While our caregivers are always happy to talk with family members about their loved one’s condition, they are not support care teachers.
However, they will be happy to offer suggestions on nursing care for stroke patients living at home to make life easier and more manageable for your family when they aren’t around.
What if a Client Lashes Out at Caregivers During Stroke Patient Care?
We understand that some clients may become fearful, panicked, or even angry during moments of confusion or disorientation.
Our skilled caregivers have the training necessary to help calm and soothe patients during these situations, and assist with de-escalating their negative emotions as quickly as possible. They can also offer gentle, guiding conversation, or relaxing distractions to help patients calm down.
In the end, our caregivers’ primary goal is to protect your loved one’s safety,
Qualicare believes in helping seniors maintain the highest level of independence possible, while they remain living at home. However, in some cases, clients may feel like specialized support, like caring for a stroke patient at home, is an affront to their independence.
Our compassionate caregivers are adept at sitting down with clients to help them understand the value of the services that we offer, as well as how home nursing care for stroke patients could help improve their daily quality of life.
