24-hour care for stroke

Recover in your own familiar environment

A stroke or CVA (cerebrovascular accident) can drastically change a person's life. Suddenly, there's a sense of incapacity, confusion, or loss of independence. Many people then consider moving to a care facility—but that's not always necessary.

Happyhomecare offers professional and personalized 24-hour care for stroke patients, so you can continue living at home with peace, structure, and personalized guidance.

What exactly is a CVA?

A CVA is a brain infarction or cerebral hemorrhage in which parts of the brain suddenly receive insufficient oxygen. This can affect functions such as speech, movement, memory, or behavior.

The consequences vary from person to person — but one thing is certain: recovery takes time, structure and personal attention.

Questions and answers

The diagnosis of a CVA is made based on several factors:

Symptoms: Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, confusion, sudden problems with vision, balance, or coordination, and sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
Medical History: A doctor will review the client's medical history, including risk factors such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and previous stroke.
Neurological examination: A neurologist performs a physical and neurological examination to determine the severity and location of the stroke.
Imaging tests: CT scans or MRI scans of the brain are used to identify the type of stroke and assess the extent of damage.
Blood tests: Blood tests can help rule out other causes and identify risk factors.

Diagnosing a stroke is often done quickly in order to start treatment as quickly as possible and minimize further brain damage.

The symptoms of a CVA include:

Sudden weakness or numbness: Especially on one side of the body (face, arm, leg).
Difficulty speaking: Slurred speech or difficulty understanding what others are saying.
Confusion: Sudden disorientation or confusion.
Vision problems: Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes.
Balance problems: Difficulty walking, dizziness, or loss of coordination.
Sudden, severe headache: Often without apparent cause.

There is no medicine that can cure a stroke, but there are treatments that can limit the damage and increase the chance of recovery:

Medications: For ischemic strokes, thrombolytic medications (such as tPA) can dissolve blood clots if given quickly. Antiplatelet and anticoagulants can help prevent future clots.
Surgery: Hemorrhagic strokes may require surgery to stop bleeding and reduce pressure on the brain.
Rehabilitation: Intensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, can help restore lost function and improve the client's independence.

Much research is being done into new treatments and preventive measures for strokes, with promising results.
