A stroke causes a brain injury. If your dad had a stroke, he must get the care he needs. Hiring <strong><em><a href=\"\/home-care-services\/veterans-care\">in-home care providers<\/a><\/em><\/strong> could help him with his care needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The brain has six lobes:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brain Stem (breathing, sleep function, and heart rate)<\/li><li>Cerebellum (balance and motor skills)<\/li><li>Frontal (attention and concentration)<\/li><li>Occipital (vision)<\/li><li>Parietal (touch and depth perception)<\/li><li>Temporal (memory and understanding)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is an injury to any part of the brain, it causes a traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries are caused by a blow to the head, while non-traumatic brain injuries are just as dangerous, but they&#8217;re caused by things like a stroke, meningitis, tumors, overdoses, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><em>These are the top four benefits of in-home care following a stroke.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><em>Transportation<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a while before your dad can drive. He has several appointments each week with his doctor and a variety of therapists. You can take off some afternoons to bring him to his speech, occupational, and physical therapists, but there are appointments you can&#8217;t cover. His in-home care aide can drive him around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><em>Help With Hygiene and Grooming<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In-home care aides help your dad with his personal care needs. Following a stroke, he may find it hard to grasp anything. He can&#8217;t lift his arm. This makes it hard to hold a toothbrush, floss his teeth, get dressed, shave, or comb his hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have caregivers with your dad each day to help him with his morning routine. He&#8217;ll have someone to help him during his shower and when it&#8217;s time to dry off and get dressed. His caregiver can brush and floss your dad&#8217;s teeth, shave his face, and help him trim his nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong><em>Meal Preparation<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a caregiver with your dad each day to cook meals he can manage. His caregiver can cut the pieces small enough so that your dad doesn&#8217;t choke. His caregiver can get him beverages as needed and prepare snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will the caregiver cook for him, but the caregiver also builds a shopping list and runs errands. Your dad won&#8217;t have to try to get to the store to shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><em><strong>In-Home Care Aides <\/strong><\/em><strong><em>Help With Housework<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dad&#8217;s not going to have an easy time walking around his home. His mobility is impacted, and that makes it hard for him to do the laundry, vacuum the carpets, dust, and wash dishes. He can&#8217;t change his sheets anymore, but his caregiver can make his bed, change the sheets each week, and fluff his pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrange in-home care services by calling our agency and talking to a specialist. You&#8217;ll be able to discuss your dad&#8217;s current care needs, what his doctors say, and how long it&#8217;s expected he&#8217;s going to need help with personal care. Talk to our in-home care specialist to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>If you or an aging loved one are considering hiring <em><a href=\"\/home-care-services\/companionship-care\">In-Home Care Services in Turnersville NJ<\/a><\/em>, please contact the caring staff at Attentive Care Inc. at <a href=\"tel:800-493-5660\"><em>1-800-493-5660<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brain Injury Association of America established March as National Brain Injury Awareness Month.
