Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Preparing for life at home after a stroke
Coming home can bring a sense of relief. It can also mean doing familiar things differently, from getting dressed to joining a conversation over breakfast. Ask the treating team what assistance your loved one may need, then talk as a family about how to provide it around the routines they value.
Helping Madam Wong find her confidence again
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in USJ whose 71-year-old mother, Madam Wong, has been receiving treatment at Subang Jaya Medical Centre after a stroke. Before hospitalisation, she made breakfast for her husband, watered her plants and called her grandchildren. Her husband joked that she was the busiest person in the family.
As discharge approached, Madam Wong needed help with walking, bathing and dressing, and sometimes found it difficult to say what she wanted. Her husband had been by her side throughout her hospital stay. At 75, he had health limitations of his own, and their son worried about how he would manage transfers and personal care.
One afternoon, her son showed her an old family photograph. She smiled and nodded. When the words were slow to come, he stayed beside her and gave her time to respond. It was a small moment that helped him see what she needed from the family as she returned home.
They asked the treating team to explain her care needs and then worked out which routines they could support themselves. They explored professional help for the more physically demanding tasks and asked Madam Wong which parts of her day she wanted to keep familiar.
Make room for independence and conversation
Ask your loved one which activities they want to do themselves and where they would welcome a hand. Discuss mobility, personal care, meals and communication with the treating team. Share familiar routines with everyone involved in care, such as when your loved one likes to call family or sit outside.
Give your loved one time to tell you what they want. If communication is difficult, ask the rehabilitation team which strategies they recommend and share those recommendations with the family and care team.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Review discharge instructions. Ask for written guidance, follow-up dates and a contact for concerns.
- Clarify mobility and transfers. Ask the treating team to demonstrate any assistance the family will be expected to provide.
- Prepare the home. Walk through the route to the bedroom and bathroom and discuss any equipment or changes the team recommends.
- Confirm eating and drinking instructions. Ask about any prescribed food textures, drink instructions or mealtime supervision. Share the written plan with those providing care.
- Plan communication support. Ask the rehabilitation team how family members can support everyday conversations.
- Arrange rehabilitation and follow-up visits. Record dates, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Identify when extra help is needed. Compare family availability with your loved one’s care needs and discuss any gaps with a homecare provider.
Before leaving hospital, ask the treating team which changes require urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
