How Do You Support A Stroke Victim?
Strokes change life routines of both the victim and the loved ones who surround them. This change can be quite stressful for you and the victim, but there are ways to ensure quality of life for you and your loved one who has suffered this misfortune. Help investigate the options available for rehabilitation to see what is best for the victim. Making such a choice can be taxing. Choose a rehabilitation that has these options: the center serves the patients needs, has certified staff, utilizes family help in the physical recovery of the stroke victim, includes family members in the entire recovery process, it’s affordable, has a solid reputation with the community and has available transportation. Spend time with the victim by talking, relaxing and entertaining. Play games with them. Volunteer for educative seminars on the nature of strokes and how to help. Volunteer for any rehabilitation sessions that are available, and work with the victim on what you both learned in these sessions. M
