Stroke Caregivers...this handbook was created by our organization
just for you, written by our group of experienced stroke
caregivers for the new stroke caregiver. We hope you can use
it to guide you through the maze of obstacles that you now face.
The file is in the PDF format and uses the Acrobat
Reader to read the file. If your computer does not already have
this software you may
download it for free from Adobe.
Our document begins with a brief background about
stroke. It then moves on to provide you with tips on how to
handle the routine questions that you must answer, what paperwork
you might want to submit and how to be their best advocate for
your loved one while they are in the hospital. And finally, what
happens as your loved one goes through their rehabilitation stage
and hopefully on to recovery.
Your questions can be answered in the Stroke
Caregivers forum on our message board. Please start by
registering with us. You will then be granted permission
to use the board at your leisure. You will be able to post
questions and obtain answers from the message board 24/7!
We want to acknowledge everyone
from The Stroke Network who contributed to making this project
happen! We had at least 25 members contribute to this
document and we sincerely thank each and everyone of them
for their contribution and in making this project successful.
