Post-Stroke Home Care Services

A stroke can change daily life almost overnight. Walking, dressing, and speaking may suddenly take more time, while weakness on one side of the body can make familiar routines feel uncertain for weeks or months. Our caregivers provide practical support during those first weeks at home, helping with everyday tasks and making trips to the bathroom, kitchen, or car safer and less stressful.

Disclaimer: Assisting Hands provides non-medical personal assistance and companion support. We work alongside licensed physical, speech, and occupational therapists, but we do not provide clinical therapy or medical rehabilitation.

• Transfer and Walking Assistance: Our caregivers offer a steady arm for getting out of bed, into a wheelchair, or down a hallway without rushing.
• Bathing, Grooming, and Dressing: Respectful hands-on help with activities of daily living (ADLs) when one-sided weakness makes daily routines difficult.
• Meal Prep and Mealtime Help: We prepare meals with softer textures and smaller portions and provide unhurried assistance at the table.
• Respite for Family Caregivers: We provide care that relieves family caregivers so they can rest and manage personal matters while our caregivers take over.
• Home Exercise Reminders: Non-medical prompting to keep up with the speech or movement exercises assigned by a therapist.

Many families combine stroke recovery support with companion care to keep their loved one engaged and connected rather than isolated at home. When a stroke follows a procedure or extended hospital stay, after-surgery care can provide support throughout the recovery period. And when someone cannot safely be left alone, 24-hour and live-in care provides dependable support around the clock.
