Professional stroke aftercare can help you or a loved one to live independently at home.
We know firsthand how strokes can have a life-changing impact on a person and their family. Readjusting to life after a stroke can be challenging but we can help make it easier by providing professionally trained care assistants to support with tasks that might be more challenging, such as domestic chores, getting out and about, or personal care. Contact us today to find out more about how our carers can help you or a loved one.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
A stroke, or transient ischaemic attack, occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is blocked or reduced.
Roughly 100,000 strokes occur in the UK each year and more than 1 million people in the UK are stroke survivors. 75% of cases affect people over the age of 65. Other known risk factors include obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and family history. Strokes affect people differently but following a stroke, people might experience the following health issues:
The effects of a stroke will vary according to the part of the brain affected. A full list of possible effects can be found on the Stroke Association website.
"During my daily routine as a care assistant, l look forward to making a difference to my customers. Communication is very important, as is listening and companionship. I enjoy caring for their physical and emotional needs, keeping them self-motivated, helping them with their exercises, administering their medication, as well as assisting them with their personal hygiene and nutrition. Making sure my clients are safe and well looked after means everything to me."
We know strokes impact each person differently and that’s why we create a bespoke person-centred care plan for each of our clients recovering from stroke. As such, the benefits of home care will vary from person to person but common benefits include:

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
If you like what you've read and are ready to access one of our care services or perhaps just have some questions, please follow our simple 3 step process below.
Send us some additional information about your request by emailing us or by using the form below. Alternatively, if you would prefer to speak with someone directly, please feel free to call us.
Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Most people recovering from a stroke can be cared for at home so long as there is someone available to support them with daily activities. This person could be a friend, family member or professional care assistant.
It can take months or even years for a person to recover after a stroke so it is important to be patient. Listen to their concerns and help them with everyday tasks. Also, encourage them to eat a healthy diet and to exercise regularly.
Readjusting to life after a stroke can be challenging, especially during the recovery phase. Organising professional home care can help ease the transition and help the patient focus on their rehabilitation.
Stroke patients may choose to live in a care home when they are discharged from the hospital but most choose to stay in the comfort of their own home.
Contact our care team using the form below or by calling our office and we'll organise a free consultation to advise you on your specific care needs.
