Stroke Recovery: Why In-Home Support Matters

Strokes are a leading cause of adult disability, resulting in paralysis, speech impairment, memory problems, and behavioral changes. According to the Centers for Disease Control, almost 800,000 people in the United States have a stroke each year, and about 1 in 4 are repeat strokes.

Many families benefit from extra help during recovery. In-home support helps with daily activities and emotional well-being, enabling survivors to regain independence and improve their quality of life.

Discover how our team at Joyful Companions in Minnesota provides various types of stroke support for families in the Twin Cities area. 

3 Types of Stroke Support From Joyful Companions

Joyful Companions provides three main categories of in-home stroke support in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, which can be highly beneficial to you, a loved one, or anyone you know who is dealing with life after a stroke.  

1. Companion Care Services

• Engaging companionship for reading, puzzles, or conversation

• Support to stay social and active during stroke recovery

• Consistent visits from trained, compassionate companions

Our Companion Care Services are perfect for those who've had a stroke. Our trained and compassionate companions can fill the gaps between care, helping your loved one stay active and social. 

Whether your loved one enjoys reading, doing puzzles, or just chatting, having a consistent companion provides essential social and active time for stroke recovery. 

2. Respite Care

• Relief for primary caregivers to prevent burnout

• Flexible scheduling and 24/7 options

• Quality care so families can recharge

If you are the primary caregiver for your loved one, you may need Respite Care. Your loved one will continue to receive the care and attention they need while you recharge your batteries. With flexible scheduling options and 24/7, round-the-clock care, you can be sure your loved one is never alone. 

3. Regular Check-ins

• Scheduled wellness calls to monitor recovery

• Updates for family members who cannot check in themselves

• Ensures stroke survivors are safe, happy, and supported

Stroke survivors who are progressing in their recovery may not require as much round-the-clock care, but they will still need someone to check in. Joyful Companions offers regular check-in services, which can help bridge the communication gap when you are unable to check in on your own. 

We will keep you informed about your loved one’s well-being and ensure they’re happy and well cared for. 

Examples of In-Home Companion Care 

• Verbal reminders for bathing, dressing, and grooming

• Standby assistance with mobility

• Meal Planning and Preparation 

• Light housekeeping and errand running

• Companionship and emotional encouragement

• Transportation for appointments or outings

Joyful Companions' supportive in-home care differs from medical care. Stroke-focused companion care covers non-medical support tasks, making home life manageable. 

Our companions do not administer medication or perform other medical-related duties. 

Benefits for Stroke Survivors & Families

• Consistent support aids physical and cognitive rehabilitation

• Daily task assistance boosts independence and confidence

• Companion care improves the quality of life for survivors

• Respite care reduces caregiver stress and helps families avoid burnout

The individuals we work with who are recovering from a stroke find many life benefits when they work with us for supportive in-home care. For example, companion care provides consistent support, which helps with physical and cognitive rehabilitation and may contribute to a more effective recovery. 

Companion care can also increase your loved one’s independence, as assistance with daily tasks allows stroke survivors to regain a sense of control over their lives and may enhance their quality of life. 

There are benefits for the caregiver as well. Respite care helps reduce caregiver burnout and alleviates some of the stress on the family. 

Client Testimonial for Joyful Companions

You treated my Dad with the utmost respect and kindness, forming a genuine connection that brightened his days. The companionship you offered brought him immense comfort and happiness, and we are deeply grateful for the positive impact you had on his life.

Your support extended beyond just my Dad; it also provided much-needed respite for my Mom.
