Bangalore · Post-stroke recovery

Stroke recovery, brought home. Day by day. Step by step.

Recovery from a stroke is a season, not a single event. We place caregivers who have walked alongside families through it before, matched to the recovery stage, not just the diagnosis.

In one paragraph

Stroke care at home in Bangalore should be matched to the recovery stage. The first two weeks are about safety and complications. The next ten are when most recovery actually happens. After that, care is about continuity, mood, and preventing recurrence. EzyHelpers places caregivers with stage-appropriate experience, and adjusts the plan as the patient progresses.

Understand the condition

Stroke: what families should know.

  • ~1.8 million

    India sees an estimated 1.8 million strokes every year, among the country’s leading causes of death and disability.

  • ~25%

    A stroke survivor has roughly a 1-in-4 chance of another stroke within five years, which is why home care includes recurrence vigilance.

  • 1 in 3

    Around a third of stroke survivors experience post-stroke depression, often missed unless someone is watching daily.

This information is for general awareness, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified doctor for diagnosis and treatment. EzyHelpers arranges trained caregivers and nursing support, we work alongside your doctor’s plan, never in place of it.

Stages of recovery

Care that adapts as recovery progresses.

A stroke caregiver in week one is doing very different work from a caregiver in month six. We change the placement plan to match, and often the caregiver level itself.

01

Acute discharge (week 1–2)

The first 14 days after hospital discharge carry the highest risk of complications and falls. Care focuses on safe transfers, swallow assessment, medication adherence, BP and glucose monitoring, and consistent positioning to prevent pressure sores.

02

Active recovery (week 3–12)

Most measurable neurological recovery happens here. Care extends to physiotherapy support, range-of-motion exercises between sessions, speech and swallow practice, and gradual reintroduction of activities of daily living.

03

Sub-acute (month 4–6)

Strength and confidence-building. Caregivers help maintain therapy gains, expand mobility, and watch for late-onset depression, which affects nearly a third of stroke survivors and is often missed.

04

Long-term maintenance (6 months +)

A live-in or 12-hour caretaker focused on lifestyle, BP control, fall prevention, and dignity. The goal shifts from recovery to a stable, well-managed life at home.

What’s included

The day-to-day of post-stroke care.

A trained stroke caregiver covers the daily fundamentals, and watches, quietly, for the things that go wrong if no one is paying attention.

Safe transfers & repositioning

Bed-to-chair, chair-to-toilet, change of position every 2 hours to prevent pressure sores.

Swallow & feeding support

Texture-modified diet, upright positioning during meals, watching for aspiration signs.

Speech & cognition practice

Daily conversation, naming exercises, supporting therapist-prescribed routines.

Therapy continuity

Range-of-motion drills between physio visits, encouragement on harder days.

BP, glucose & medication

Strict timing, stroke-recurrence vigilance, and a written daily log for the family.

Mood & depression watch

Spotting withdrawal, sleep changes, or apathy early and flagging to the family.

Stroke recurrence

Eight signs that need a hospital, now.

A stroke survivor has roughly a 25% chance of a recurrence within five years. Caregivers we place are taught to recognise these signs and call emergency services without waiting.

  • Sudden weakness on one side
  • Slurred or new speech difficulty
  • Severe headache, especially with vomiting
  • New facial drooping
  • Sudden vision change
  • Confusion or unusual drowsiness
  • Difficulty swallowing fluids
  • BP > 180/110 or < 90/60

Why matching matters

What a stroke-experienced caregiver actually looks like.

Stroke recovery work is unforgiving of inexperience. We don’t place general caretakers on stroke cases, these are the things we verify before we shortlist.

  • Has handled a post-stroke discharge in the last 12 months
  • Comfortable with hemiplegic transfers and positioning
  • Speaks the patient’s primary language fluently
  • Trained in pressure-sore prevention protocol
  • Comfortable supporting NG-tube or PEG feeding when prescribed
  • Calm under sudden BP or seizure events

For high-complexity cases (tracheostomy, NG/PEG-fed, severe aphasia) we place Trained Attendants instead of general caretakers.
