Recovering from a stroke can be a life-changing journey, both for the person affected and for their family. Every stroke is different and so is every recovery. Many people want to regain independence and confidence in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar routines, loved ones and support that feels personal.

That’s where home care can make a real difference.

At Homelium Care, we help people rebuild strength, independence and quality of life after a stroke, offering tailored support that adapts as recovery progresses.


The Benefits of Stroke Recovery at Home

After a stroke, the transition from hospital to home is a big step. Being in a familiar environment can help reduce stress, boost confidence and encourage faster recovery.

Home care allows individuals to:

✅ Stay in the comfort and safety of their own home

✅ Maintain independence and routines

✅ Receive one-to-one, personalised support

✅ Continue therapy and rehabilitation exercises at home

✅ Stay connected to family and community life


Recovery can be challenging, but with the right care and encouragement, many people make remarkable progress.


How Home Care Helps After a Stroke

Our Homelium Care team provides flexible, person-centred support for stroke recovery. Care plans are built around each person’s unique needs, goals and pace of recovery.

We can help with:

  • Personal care – bathing, dressing, mobility and continence support

  • Medication management – ensuring treatments are taken safely and on time

  • Rehabilitation support – assisting with exercises set by physiotherapists or occupational therapists

  • Nutritional support – help with meal preparation, hydration and dietary needs

  • Speech and cognitive support – using patience, communication techniques and encouragement

  • Companionship and emotional support – helping rebuild confidence and social connection


Our aim is always to promote independence and dignity, supporting recovery at every step while reducing pressure on families.


Support for Family Carers

When a loved one returns home after a stroke, family members often take on new caring responsibilities, which can be overwhelming.

Homelium Care offers respite and ongoing support for family carers, giving you time to rest, recharge and focus on your own wellbeing, knowing your loved one is in safe hands.

You’re not alone in this journey, we’re here to help every step of the way.


Personalised Care That Grows With You

Stroke recovery isn’t a straight line, needs can change over time. That’s why our care plans are reviewed regularly to make sure we’re always providing the right level of support.

Whether it’s a few hours of daily care, overnight support, or live-in care, our carers are trained to adapt and provide compassionate, skilled help that makes a genuine difference.
