Bangalore · Post-stroke recovery
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.
Stages of recovery
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
A trained stroke caregiver covers the daily fundamentals — and watches, quietly, for the things that go wrong if no one is paying attention.
Bed-to-chair, chair-to-toilet, change of position every 2 hours to prevent pressure sores.
Texture-modified diet, upright positioning during meals, watching for aspiration signs.
Daily conversation, naming exercises, supporting therapist-prescribed routines.
Range-of-motion drills between physio visits, encouragement on harder days.
Strict timing, stroke-recurrence vigilance, and a written daily log for the family.
Spotting withdrawal, sleep changes, or apathy early and flagging to the family.
Stroke recurrence
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.
Why matching matters
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.
For high-complexity cases (tracheostomy, NG/PEG-fed, severe aphasia) we place Trained Attendants instead of general caretakers.
