Given that strokes occur every 45 secounds and affect more than 700,000 people each year in America, many families are left with a myriad of concerns on how to adjust to a post stroke environment. Quite often physical functionality is greatly diminished which leads to emotional challenges as well. For those seeking answers to this new reality, I have found one website particularly helpful. It is one of the most comprehensive resources I have found on the topic of strokes and their aftermath. Not only does it define a stroke and suggest measures to avoid them, but also offers advice on adapting your homes and lives to maintain the highest quality of life and level of independence after a stroke.
