Our care offers conversation & companionship to combat loneliness through the winter months.
Your home, Your care, Your choice.
The quality of care you receive is directly affected by a care provider’s knowledge and their ability to help others. Our Teams receive exclusive training from our Alina Homecare Academy to meet our exacting standards, helping people stay independent in the comfort of their own home.
Having the same Carer or Carers is very important for people with cognitive decline. Our local Teams build relationships with you and your loved ones, supported by our central Live-in Team.
We make sure family members are part of care planning so that care is individualised. With consent, this includes a real time care monitoring app. for the entire family.
Top 20 UK Home Care Group 2021-2025. Unlike private carers who may be untrained, all our Carers have full training, meet industry regulations and adhere to strict quality controls.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A stroke can often impact someone’s memory and increase feelings of confusion. Home Care after a stroke means you or your loved one can remain in the comfort and familiarity of the home. This reduces stress and disruption compared with moving somewhere unfamiliar like a care home.
Personal Care is a term that covers a range of Home Care services. It covers any daily personal tasks, such as maintaining personal hygiene, going to the bathroom and dressing. Find your local Alina Homecare Team to learn more about how we can help you.

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