Stroke Recovery Tips From NYC Nursing Home Providers:
- Secure proper assistance. Strokes are debilitating, especially in first couple months, remain under consistent supervision from your physician and enlist family or friends in caregiving assistance. Patients should never attempt to manage recovery alone.
- Adhere to medication regime: Strokes are often the result of previous medical conditions such as uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes. A patient's risk of suffering a second stroke increases in the months immediately following the first incident. Patients are strongly advised to practice strict adherence to medication schedules. If patients struggle with medication adherence, a caregiver should be brought in.
- Seek out Stroke Recovery Programs: Patients should locate and participate in stroke recovery programs that offer physical and occupational therapy, along with speech and language assistance.
Gold Crest Care Center urges patients to recognize that stroke recovery can be a frightening and arduous process and to seek out any help needed.
