Stroke Care
A stroke is when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. There are more than 100,000 people who suffer from strokes in the UK each year, and it is the leading cause of disability in the UK. Most strokes happen over the age of 65 with family history, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure adding to risk levels.
After a stroke people often find it difficult to speak, read or write and it is not uncommon for people to have problems with memory and the ability to concentrate.
With often no warning signs readjusting to life after a stroke can be physically and emotionally difficult. With rehabilitation being a key part of a care plan, at Lillyfields, our team of experienced professionals look to provide practical and emotional support.
