the steps that a caregiver should take for stroke patients?

Question

I just want to know about the steps what as a caregiver for stroke patients should do?the activities from the early morning until night to fullfill their life in home setting for the stroke patients as you know they have different disability criteria.

Answer 1

I think the most important thing would be to let them retain as much of their indepenence and dignity as possible. If they can shower or go to the bathroom by themselves, then let them do it, or help them while letting them keep their privacy.
Well, the usual schedule goes something like this.
Wake up, shower or bathe, dress, toilet needs, breakfast, toilet as needed, watch TV or other activities, lunch, toilet as needed, activities, dinner, toilet, undress, wash up before going to bed.
The care for each patient will be as unique as the patient themselves. It really depends on what level of care they need. Some patients will be only mildly impaired, while others will need total care. If the patient is able, activities can consist of board games, TV or movies, walks around the block, outings to the mall, or anything they enjoyed doing before they had the stroke (within reason). It's important to let the patient have as much control over his life as reasonably possible. That includes letting them decide what to wear or what to eat. Of course, this may not be possible with more severe strokes. It also might be a good idea to include some nap time in the afternoon, esp. if the patient is elderly or has less energy than most.
Hope this helps!
