Stroke Recovery Care
The National Stroke Association predicts that 795,00 Americans will experience a stroke this year. Those who have had a stroke are almost 15% more likely to have a second stroke within a year of their first incident. Few Americans know the signs and symptoms of a stroke. Learning them and acting FAST when they occur could save your life or the life of a loved one.

Common stroke symptoms include:

• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg – especially on one side of the body
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
• Sudden severe headache with no known cause

Use the F.A.S.T. test for recognizing and responding to stroke symptoms:

F = FACE (Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?)
A = ARMS (Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?)
S = SPEECH (Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?)
T = TIME (If you observe any of these signs, it’s time to call 9-1-1 or get to the nearest stroke center or hospital.)

Parkinson’s Care
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that progresses slowly in most people. PD targets and affects the central nervous system and impacts more than 1.5 million people in the United States. Due to the nature of PD, the symptoms typically get worse over time. Most physicians focus on treatments that help control the symptoms of PD that enable you to manage your PD and enhance your quality of life.

Respite Care
The challenges of caring for a loved one become a part of everyday life for millions of Americans. As parents and loved ones age, the need for increased help and assistance become necessary to maintain life at home. Caring for a loved one can be physically, mentally and emotionally challenging and no one can fully be prepared to do it alone. Getting help is essential for your health and your resilience is critical for your loved one. Seeking professional support and maintaining one’s own health are key to maintaining the caregiving years. Using respite care before you become overwhelmed, exhausted or isolated can change the way you care for your loved one.

Respite Care is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home. Without respite, not only can the families suffer economically and emotionally, caregivers themselves may face serious health and social risks as a result of the stress affiliated with continuous caregiving. Respite care has been shown to help sustain family caregiver health and wellbeing, avoid or delay out-of-home placements and reduce the potential for abuse and neglect.
