Recovering from a stroke can feel overwhelming, not only for those who experience it but also for their families. The road to recovery often involves challenges such as relearning basic tasks, managing medications, and staying on top of health complications.
This is where our award-winning BrightStar Care of South Orange County team comes in. Offering comprehensive skilled nursing services, they provide the kind of expert care and support stroke patients need to recover safely and comfortably at home.
Our nurses are available 24/7 to offer support. Whether helping with medications, monitoring blood pressure, or assisting with mobility exercises, they provide the care stroke patients need in the comfort of their homes.
1. Medication Management: Stroke recovery often requires a strict regimen of medications to manage blood pressure, prevent clotting, and support overall recovery. Our nurses ensure medications are administered correctly and on time, preventing missed doses or harmful interactions.
2. Wound Care: Wound care is a critical part of recovery for patients who may have undergone surgery or have mobility limitations. Our nurses are trained to clean, dress, and monitor wounds to prevent infections and promote faster healing.
3. Monitoring Vital Signs: After a stroke, it is essential to monitor vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels closely. Our nurses regularly monitor these key health indicators to catch potential issues early and adjust care as necessary.
4. Preventing Infections: Patients recovering from a stroke may have a weakened immune system, making them more susceptible to infections. Our nurses are trained in infection prevention techniques and maintain cleanliness and hygiene to reduce the risk of infections.
5. Blood Clot Prevention: After a stroke, patients are at higher risk for developing blood clots, especially if they have reduced mobility. We implement preventive measures such as encouraging movement, administering blood thinners, and using compression stockings to reduce the risk of clotting.
6. Fall Prevention: Many stroke survivors experience balance and mobility issues, increasing their risk of falls. We assess the home environment, provide mobility assistance, and teach exercises to improve balance and strength, helping to reduce the risk of falls.
7. Managing Chronic Conditions: Stroke survivors often have other underlying health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. Our nurses manage these chronic conditions alongside stroke recovery, ensuring that all aspects of the patient’s health are addressed simultaneously.
8. Ongoing Health Assessments: Regular health assessments help monitor the patient’s progress and identify potential complications early. We assess everything from cognitive function to physical strength, adjusting care plans to ensure recovery stays on track.
1. Physical Therapy for Strength and Mobility: Physical therapy is a key component of stroke recovery, focusing on helping patients regain strength, balance, and mobility. We collaborate with physical therapists to ensure that exercises and movement routines are tailored to each patient’s abilities. This hands-on approach helps stroke survivors regain independence in walking, transferring, and other daily activities.
2. Occupational Therapy for Daily Living Skills: Stroke survivors often struggle with tasks such as dressing, eating, and grooming. Occupational therapy is designed to help patients regain these skills and adapt to new ways of performing them if necessary. We work closely with occupational therapists to integrate these techniques into the daily care routine, helping patients regain control of their lives.
3. Speech Therapy for Communication and Swallowing: Many stroke survivors experience difficulties with speech and swallowing. Speech therapy focuses on improving communication skills and addressing any swallowing issues. We work alongside speech therapists to practice these exercises with patients, ensuring progress between therapy sessions.
4. Coordinated Care Plans: We don’t just manage the medical side of recovery; we ensure that rehabilitation therapies are seamlessly integrated into the overall care plan. Nurses communicate closely with therapists to monitor progress, adjust routines, and ensure patients meet rehabilitation goals.
5. Therapy Support in the Home: Recovering at home can be challenging without the right support. We provide the hands-on assistance stroke survivors need to carry out therapy exercises between sessions, ensuring consistency in rehabilitation efforts. This ongoing support helps patients stay on track with their recovery goals, improving overall outcomes.
6. Holistic Focus on Recovery: Medical care and rehabilitation are essential to achieving the best recovery outcomes. We understand that therapy is just as important as medication management, so it prioritizes a holistic approach, seamlessly blending both aspects into the patient’s care plan.
