What is included with Home Care for stroke?
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. An Ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage in the brain’s blood supply whereas a haemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding in or around the brain. 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. Our Stroke Home Care services includes:
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.

What is a stroke?
A stroke is a serious and sometimes even 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.
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.
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.
