When a stroke strikes, no one is prepared. And when your loved one comes home, the real work begins. Across Africa, that work often falls to family. This guide is your map.
Our new whitepaper traces how home-based rehabilitation grew from the hospital-at-home model. It explains the three approaches used today: Early Supported Discharge, Rehabilitation at Home, and Home Exercise Programmes. It also shows how caregivers can help their loved ones stay committed to therapy.
But recovery is not only physical. The guide explores the emotional journey, including the often-overlooked challenge of rebuilding identity after stroke, and offers practical ways to support grieving, hope, and purpose. You will learn how to communicate with a loved one living with aphasia or slurred speech, work with the healthcare team, and recognise post-stroke depression, mood changes, and low self-esteem, and when to seek professional help.
Written by Physio-Plus Associates for the families who carry this journey, the guide is grounded in published research and written in plain language, with practical steps you can start using today.
