Post-Stroke Care at Home
A stroke changes everything in a matter of hours. One moment your loved one is at home. The next they are in hospital and you are trying to understand what the road back looks like and whether home is still part of it. For most people it is.
According to the Stroke Association around 100,000 strokes occur in the UK every year and the majority of survivors return home. But coming home after a stroke is not the end of the recovery journey. It is the beginning of the part that matters most.
Post-stroke care at home means a professional experienced carer supports your loved one through their recovery in the place where recovery happens best. Their own home. Their own surroundings. Their own routines. With the same familiar carer there consistently throughout, not a different person at each visit, someone who knows your loved one and tracks their progress day by day.
We can arrange care within 24 to 48 hours of hospital discharge. Across England.

What Does Post-Stroke Care at Home Include?
Stroke recovery involves three things happening at the same time. Physical rehabilitation, regaining strength, mobility and coordination. Cognitive rehabilitation, relearning or adapting to changes in memory, concentration and communication. and emotional recovery, adjusting to what has happened and finding confidence again in daily life.
Post-stroke care at home supports all three. Not in a clinical setting with unfamiliar faces. At home, with the same trusted carer, in the surroundings that are most conducive to recovery. In practice post-stroke care at home can include:
Personal care, help with washing, dressing and personal hygiene handled with complete dignity while mobility and strength are returning.
Personal Care
Mobility and physical support
Mobility and physical support, helping your loved one move safely around the home, get in and out of bed, manage stairs and build confidence with movement during recovery.
Supporting rehabilitation exercises, working alongside physiotherapists and occupational therapists to help your loved one maintain the exercise routines recommended by their hospital care team.
Supporting rehabilitation exercises
Meals and Nutrition
Meals and nutrition, preparing nutritious meals that support recovery, managing any dietary requirements and helping with swallowing difficulties where relevant.
Medication Management
Medication management, ensuring post-stroke medications are taken at exactly the right time, carefully recorded and never missed, which is essential during the recovery period.
Accompanying to Appointments
Accompanying to appointments, attending follow-up appointments with the stroke team, GP and any specialist rehabilitation services.
-
Communication support, helping your loved one communicate if speech has been affected by the stroke, working alongside speech and language therapists where involved.
-
Emotional companionship, being consistently present, calm and encouraging at a time when confidence and emotional wellbeing are particularly fragile.
-
Family communication, keeping your family informed about progress and raising any concerns with the wider healthcare team without delay.
Who Is Post-Stroke Care at Home Right For?
Stroke affects every person differently. The effects depend on which part of the brain was affected, the severity of the stroke and how quickly treatment was received. Post-stroke care at home is right for your loved one if they need professional support during recovery but want to recover at home rather than in a residential or rehabilitation setting.
Families typically come to us at one of three moments. The first is at the point of hospital discharge. Discharge after stroke often happens faster than families expect and the support promised at home is not always in place when your loved one arrives back.
We arrange home care after stroke quickly, in most cases within 24 to 48 hours, so there is no gap between leaving hospital and having the right support at home.
The second is when a family is managing stroke aftercare at home themselves but the level of need has grown beyond what they can sustain. When the daily demands of stroke recovery at home become too much for family alone, professional care provides the consistent support your loved one needs while giving the family space to recover too.
The third is when a care home has been suggested and the family wants to understand whether home care after stroke is a realistic alternative. In most cases it is. With the right professional support stroke care at home provides one-to-one attention in familiar surroundings that a care home setting with multiple residents cannot replicate.
Post-stroke care at home is particularly right for elderly people recovering from stroke who are more vulnerable to the disorientation and loss of confidence that an unfamiliar care home environment can cause.
Visiting Care or Live-In Care After Stroke — Which Is Right?
The right type of stroke care depends on how much support your loved one needs during recovery and how their needs may change over time.
Visiting care after stroke means a carer comes at agreed times each day, morning, lunchtime, evening or multiple visits, to provide support with personal care, medication, meals, mobility and rehabilitation exercises. This is right for stroke survivors who are largely independent between visits and do not need continuous supervision throughout the day and night.
Live-in stroke care means a dedicated carer moves into the home and is there every single day around the clock. This is right for stroke survivors who need continuous support, particularly in the early stages of recovery when mobility is significantly limited, when there is a risk of falls, when speech or cognitive function has been affected or when overnight supervision is needed for safety. For many families stroke care begins as live-in care during the most intensive stage of recovery and transitions to visiting care as independence returns.
At NeeryVille Care both services are available across England and both are delivered by the same carer throughout, so the transition happens without disruption to your loved one's recovery or the relationship they have built with the person supporting them.
How Much Does Stroke Care at Home Cost?
Visiting care after stroke with NeeryVille cost £28 per hour with no hidden fees and no travel charges. Minimum one hour per visit.
Live-in stroke care starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive.
One dedicated carer, 24 hours a day, every single day throughout recovery.
We will always give you a clear confirmed figure before anything is agreed. For urgent situations including hospital discharge we can arrange care and confirm costs within 24 to 48 hours.
Funding may be available through NHS Continuing Healthcare for stroke survivors whose primary need is a health need. We can help you understand whether your loved one may be eligible.
