High quality information, emotional support and practical advice in the aftermath of a stroke Working with a survivor and their family immediately following a stroke as long as they need it in hospitals and care homes, within their own homes and back into the community We work to address all the complex needs of a stroke survivor and their carer, from medication compliance to healthy living and social re- integration. Our holistic approach to care and expert knowledge adds essential value to primary care, social care and neighbourhood care teams. By helping people navigate the often complex social and health care system, the service facilitates quicker recovery and supports self- management Stroke Helpline 0303 3033 300 stroke.org.uk
