Stroke Awareness

May is Stroke Awareness Month. Strokes are a medical emergency, and every second counts, because time lost is brain lost.

Over the years, we have seen numerous instances of SHC Caregivers saving the day by acting quickly and dialing 911 upon noticing the signs of a client having a stroke.

Know these stroke warning signs and share them with others:

• Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.
• Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
• Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
• Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.

If you or someone with you has one or more of these signs, don’t delay! Call 911 or the emergency medical services (EMS) number immediately. Also, check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared. It’s important to take immediate action. If given within three hours of the start of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.

Testimonial

“Seniors Home Care provided caregivers for a member of our family with multiple sclerosis, and our experience was consistently positive. Every caregiver we worked with was kind, patient, and highly professional.

More recently, we engaged their services for another elderly family member who is still able to live at home but needs assistance with several activities of daily living. The caregivers have been attentive and flexible, adapting to his routines while ensuring he stays on schedule with medications and daily tasks. Their support has made it possible for him to remain safely and comfortably in his own home. The caregivers are reliable, come rain or snow, and it a relief knowing they are with him.”
