Stroke recovery care at home
Recovery after a stroke is measured in small daily gains. A caregiver who understands that keeps the exercises going, protects against falls, and lets your person do what they can for themselves.
What stroke recovery care involves
- Following the exercises the therapists set, every day.
- Safe transfers and walking, often with one side weaker.
- Patience with speech and swallowing difficulties.
- Help with dressing, bathing and eating one-handed.
- Encouragement through the frustration and low mood that often follow.
Questions to ask
- Have you supported someone after a stroke? What changed over the months?
- How do you help someone who wants to try a task themselves?
- How would you work with their physical or speech therapist?
How Kalvri helps you find them
Kalvri is an iPhone app, not an agency. You say what the care really looks like, and Kalvri ranks every caregiver whose hours, skills, languages, distance and rate fit, with the reason each one was chosen. Each morning it suggests the one who fits best.
- What you require comes first. Everyone who can cover your hours, your budget and the care you described is ranked ahead of anyone who can't, and somebody who has said no to something you need is never suggested.
- Each caregiver arrives with the reason they were chosen, in plain words. What they told Kalvri is labelled as theirs, because Kalvri verifies nothing.
- When you both say yes, a private conversation opens. Ask for references, ask for a time, and decide for yourself.
- You agree the rate with your caregiver and pay them directly. Kalvri takes no fee and no cut.
