A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. The consequences of this can vary depending on the type and severity of the bleed. All strokes are different and for some people the effects may be minor and not long-lasting, but others may be left with more serious problems that may make them dependent on others. A stroke can happen to anyone at any age and at any time. It is critical to know how you can spot the warning signs of a stroke either in yourself or someone else.

Our Care Assistants are all trained to care for stroke survivors and many have undertaken the QCF in stroke and acquired brain injury. Our care assistants offer practical and emotional support to survivors and their families and are able to liaise with the Stroke Association to ensure you are receiving the best possible care and support from the wider community.

Each care plan is individually tailor-made to ensure that it is personalised and specific to your needs. It is reviewed and updated regularly to account for any changes that may need to take place and can coincide with your review from your stroke team to ensure continuity of care.

A stroke changes lives, but Bright Dawn Home Care are here to help you continue to be the person you have always been. We see the person within.
