stroke

At Active Day medical adult day care centers, we help clients who have suffered a stroke restore and maintain an optimal level of functioning through a care plan that focuses on controlling risk factors for recurring stroke and providing rehabilitative therapies.

Because hypertension is the leading risk factor for stroke in both men and women, Active Day staff work with clients to monitor their blood pressure regularly and report signs of potential complications to the client’s physician and caregiver.

An individually tailored rehabilitation program is also important for clients who have suffered a stroke, so the availability of licensed physical, occupational and speech therapists at Active Day centers is a valuable benefit for these clients.

Our physical therapists evaluate the client’s range of motion, strength, balance and gait and develop an exercise program based on their abilities and level of function. Regaining control over the vocal cords is another key aspect of recovering from the effects of stroke. Our speech therapists work with clients to help them regain the ability to use language appropriately, including phonetics, morphology, syntax and semantics.
