After Stroke
Home Care

Following a stroke, some people may experience difficulties controlling their bladder and bowel movements. Our Carers 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.

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

Our Stroke 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.

The impacts of a stroke aren’t just physical but can also cause detrimental impacts on a person’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.

As a stroke affects the brain, people who suffer from a stroke 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.

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 Carers help by assisting you or your loved one with getting around. They’re 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.

Maintaining a consistent daily routine and proper nutrition is crucial for stroke recovery. Our Carers 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.
