What is
Stroke Care?

Our Home Care for Stroke service enables you or your loved one to remain at home following a stroke through high quality support. If you or your loved one has had a stroke, everyday tasks can often become more difficult and you may find additional support at home is needed.

We understand the challenges a stroke can bring, not just for you but also your loved ones. At Alina Homecare, we can help with all aspects of Stroke Care at Home, from overcoming difficulties with mobility, to communication and emotional support.

After Stroke Home Care allows you or your loved one to remain in the familiarity of the home. Our dedicated Care Workers are highly trained to help people who have had a stroke to live as independently as possible.

Your home, Your care, Your choice.

Our 9.6 review score shows how our Stroke Care can make a positive impact on daily life. We always keep your loved one at the heart of what we do.

How much does it cost?

The cost of our Stroke Home Care service is determined by different factors. Firstly, it depends on the level of care and support required. This can include the service chosen, such as visiting care or Live-in Care. It also depends on the frequency of care and your location.

After leaving hospital, you or your loved one may also be entitled to grants or other forms of other financial support to help with funding Home Care. Complete our costs calculator to learn more about the cost of Personal Care.

When you get in touch, we can arrange a no obligation free home visit to discuss your needs in more detail.

Chat with your local Alina Homecare Team as they can guide you on costs by talking through your requirements. You can also use our Costs Calculator.

  • Live-in Care – a Live-in Carer moves in to provide 24 hour support
  • Overnight Care – a Carer stays the night to provide added reassurance.

+ Routine & meals

Incontinence Support

Following a stroke, some people may experience difficulties controlling their bladder and bowel movements. Our Care Workers can help with a range of Personal Care tasks including help with washing and going to the bathroom.

All our Care Workers are fully trained and will always deliver quality care with respect and ensure your or your loved one’s respect and dignity are upheld. We understand this is a sensitive area and provide discreet, compassionate support that maintains your independence and comfort.

Managing Fatigue

After a stroke, many people experience fatigue or tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest. Due to this, daily tasks may become harder to carry out.

Our Home Care Workers can help by completing tasks around the home such as hoovering the carpet, doing the laundry or preparing meals. We pace activities appropriately and ensure you have time to rest, helping you conserve energy for the things that matter most to you while maintaining your home environment.

Mental Wellbeing Support

The impacts of a stroke aren’t just physical but can cause detrimental impacts on someone’s mental health. This includes anxiety, frustration and depression.

We understand mental health is equally as important as physical health. Our Carers are always there to listen to any concerns and provide valuable companionship. We offer emotional support, encourage engagement in activities you enjoy, and help maintain social connections that are vital for recovery and wellbeing.

Cognitive Support

As a stroke affects the brain, survivors often experience cognitive impairment. This often includes difficulties with concentration, memory, confusion and communication.

At Alina Homecare, our Stroke Home Care Assistants can help by reassuring you or your loved one and providing necessary reminders. We use memory aids, maintain consistent routines, and communicate clearly and patiently. Our carers are trained to support communication difficulties and help you maintain your independence through structured support.

Mobility & Muscle Weakness Support

Most people who have had a stroke experience muscle weakness, with 75% of people experiencing leg weakness.1 This brings difficulties with mobility, potentially increasing the likeliness of a fall.

Our Home Care Workers help by assisting you or your loved one with getting around. They are fully trained in the use of mobile hoists and walking aids. They can also help by completing daily tasks to help you stay on top of activities, ensuring your safety and maintaining your mobility as much as possible.

Routine & Nutritional Support

Maintaining a consistent daily routine and proper nutrition is crucial for stroke recovery. Our Care Workers help establish and maintain regular schedules for meals, medication, and activities.

We prepare nutritious meals tailored to any dietary requirements post-stroke, including modified textures if needed for swallowing difficulties. Our support with routine and mealtimes helps you maintain structure in your day, ensures proper nutrition for recovery, and provides the consistency that aids both physical and cognitive rehabilitation.

Stroke Care stories

Many people feel that having a Carer at home helps in more ways than one. In addition to the help they need, it’s also comforting to have company at home. The best type of care is the kind that meets the specific needs of each person. Your loved one can still enjoy life in the place they know best – their own home.

How to arrange Stroke Care

When you choose Stroke Home Care, our priority is to provide reliable, compassionate support that helps you or your loved one live comfortably and safely at home. Our Care Teams are made up of fully trained professionals who bring not only practical skills, but also patience, respect and genuine care to every visit.

We take time to understand your needs so we can deliver the right level of support. Whether you require help with daily routines, personal care, medication prompts, mobility, or companionship, our Carers are experienced and committed to giving you their full attention.

Our approach is simple: consistent, high‑quality Stroke Care delivered by people who are dedicated to making everyday life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

We focus on building trust, maintaining dignity, and supporting independence — all within the comfort of your own home.

The first thing you need to do is find out what your loved one really needs. You and your loved one’s voice is a crucial component of any care planning. Initially, they might need help with Stroke Care, daily tasks or just some emotional support. When we have this information, we can make a personalised care plan.

  • Comprehensive assessment of care needs
  • Family input and loved one’s preferences
  • Personalised care plan development
  • Local support services coordination

Finding the right care plan is not just about finding skilled care providers. It’s also about choosing visits and tasks that match and enhance you or your loved one’s needs and likes.

  • We work closely with you
  • Specialised care training
  • Ongoing care package review

Once you choose Alina Homecare, the care plan can start right away. Stroke Care can help with many things. This may be personal hygiene, tackling elderly loneliness or getting dressed.

  • Immediate care plan implementation
  • Personal hygiene and daily tasks
  • Companionship and social interaction
  • Peace of mind for families

What’s included with Stroke Care?

A stroke impacts people in different ways, depending on various factors such as the location of where the brain is damaged and its severity. It also depends on the type of stroke. This is why we listen to the needs of you or your loved one and tailor our care to suit your specific needs and requirements.

Choosing Home Care after a stroke is a big decision – with the emotional impact a stroke can bring, familiarity and consistency are vital factors to consider.

Whatever you or your loved one need to manage the everyday impact of a stroke, we can help.

Live-in Stroke Care

Our Live-in Stroke Care is a suitable option if you or your loved one are experiencing symptoms following a stroke that are severe enough to require continuous support vs daily visits. With this type of Home Care, a specially trained Care Worker moves into the home to provide care. We match a suitable Live-in Carer who suits you or your loved one based on personality, common interests as well as skills to maintain our reputation for quality care.

Stroke Respite Care

Being a full time caregiver for a loved one after a stroke can make finding time for yourself more challenging. It’s important to have a break from time to time. Our Respite Care for stroke patients can help, offering usual caregivers regular time off for themselves. Our Care Workers are fully trained and know how to deliver quality care with compassion in your absence. They will fit into your usual routine to provide care that is tailored to the needs of your loved one. Learn more about the cost of Respite Care today.

Stroke Personal Care

Our Personal Care at home service helps you or your loved one with daily tasks that may become more challenging after a stroke. These can include assistance with washing and using the bathroom, as well as getting dressed and ready for the day. Our Home Care Workers help maintain Personal Care routines with dignity and respect.

Household tasks

If you or your loved one find daily household tasks are becoming more challenging following a stroke, our Carers can help. Many of our clients receive support with everyday Domestic Care tasks such as laundry, washing up and keeping your home neat and tidy.

Meal preparation

Our Home Care Workers can prepare nutritious meals for you or your loved one if this becomes difficult following a stroke. They take into account any likes, dislikes and allergies. They also make sure you or your loved one eats and drinks regularly.

Companion Care

We all need someone to talk to from time to time. Our Home Care for stroke patients can include valuable Companion Care for you or your loved one. Even if a stroke has restricted you or your loved one’s ability to communicate, our Care Workers are trained to understand your needs. We aim to prevent elderly loneliness and provide support when it’s needed most. Sometimes, all that’s needed is a nice chat with a friendly face.

If care is needed as soon as possible, we can offer same day home visits. Among other tasks, we can help with household tasks, Personal Care, companionship, shopping and meal preparation.

Who delivers Stroke Home Care?

Our Stroke Home Care service is delivered by one of our specially trained Home Care Workers. All our Carers are trained through our exclusive Alina Homecare Training Academy to provide high quality and compassionate care.

What training do you provide to Carers?

At Alina Homecare, we have our very own Alina Homecare Academy. Our company is built on core values that we passionately believe in and are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure all our Care Workers receive the same high level of training so that our standards and quality reputation can be preserved.

Find your local Alina Homecare Team to discuss our costs in more detail.

How can I fund Home Care following a stroke?

There are many ways to fund Stroke Care at Home. Learn more by reading our guide to Home Care funding.

How does Alina Homecare compare to an introductory agency?

Since there is no regulation of agencies, quality cannot be ensured. We offer completely regulated services that the CQC inspects. Additionally, we give our Care Workers complete training, something that private and agency Carers may not receive. Additionally, our services are backed up by central support, so you can rely on us even if your care provider requires time off. Our local Team may fill in as needed to maintain continuity of care.

How do you compare to an agency?

Agencies are not regulated and quality cannot be guaranteed. We provide fully regulated services that are inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We also provide full and exclusive training for our Care Workers, whereas private and agency Carers do not have comprehensive training. In addition to this, our services are also backed up with central support; this means you can count on us even if your Care Worker is sick or needs time off, as we can source a replacement to ensure continuity of care.

How is care monitored?

Along with our other services, our Home Care for stroke is regulated by the CQC to ensure our quality standards are upheld. This includes making sure that you or your loved one is always safe and secure and that our care is personalised for each of our clients. Additionally, we are proud to partner with Birdie. With the use of Birdie’s innovative care technology, we can digitally record and track the care we provide. With your permission, the Birdie Family app. also enables complete visibility of care for you and your loved ones at any time. It’s a great way to provide more assurance that quality care is provided. 

Is Stroke Home Care better than a care home?

Making the choice between Home Care and a care home for a loved one after a stroke can be difficult. Your decision ultimately depends on their care needs whilst keeping their best interests at heart.

With our after Stroke Care at Home, you or your loved one can avoid the stress and upheaval of moving and continue to live in the familiarity of the home. If you or your loved one need continuous care, our Stroke Live-in Care is a great option. A Live-in Carer will move into the home with you or your loved one and provide care as and when it’s needed.

However, if you or your loved one requires more advanced care after a stroke, it may be safer and more suitable to consider a care or nursing home where specialist resources can be provided.

What is a stroke?

A stroke is a serious and sometimes life threatening condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. Cells in the brain require oxygen and other nutrients. When this supply is cut off, these cells begin to die.
Strokes have two main causes; either a blood clot or a burst blood vessel. Although a stroke can happen to anyone, certain conditions can increase the chances of one occurring. This includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol, irregular heartbeats, diabetes and lifestyle.
It’s estimated that over 100,000 people in the UK have a stroke every year.4 The impact of a stroke can be treated with some medications. This depends on the type of stroke and what caused it. Most people who have had a stroke are left with long term life changing impacts.
At Alina Homecare, we provide quality assured and compassionate care to help you or your loved one manage the impact of a stroke. The challenges a stroke brings differ significantly for each person. We understand this and tailor our Stroke Care services to each client to support their independence and if possible, their recovery.

When should I start looking for Stroke Care?

If the impact of a stroke has meant you or your loved one now struggle to live safely and independently at home, it’s the right time to be looking for care arrangements. There are many different care options to choose from depending on the level of care needed. At Alina Homecare, our care visits can be as short as 30 minutes or we can provide a Live-in Carer who can deliver care 24/7.

We understand this is a challenging decision that requires a lot of thought. If you’d like to discuss these options and find out more about the services we can offer, have a chat with a member of our Team.
