I recently had a family member suffer a stroke, and honestly, I'm completely overwhelmed. I'm not sure where to start with daily care, exercises, or even managing medications properly. How can someone like me, with no medical training, provide proper support without making things worse?
It's completely normal to feel lost in this situation. A stroke survivor often needs help with mobility, daily routines, and mental support, but there are structured ways to approach it. You can start with small steps: creating a predictable daily schedule, assisting with gentle exercises, and monitoring medications closely. For detailed guidance, I found this page (https://myallamericancare.com/academy/how-to-care-for-a-stroke-patient-at-home/) on how to care for a stroke patient at home really helpful, offering practical tips from professionals that make the process less daunting. Having resources like this can turn anxiety into actionable steps, and it's okay to reach out for help when needed.
