Rebuilding Strength After Stroke

A stroke can change life in an instant. As one of the leading causes of long-term disability in the United States, stroke leaves more than 600,000 survivors living with lasting disabilities every year. The journey that follows can feel overwhelming, but the right care during recovery makes all the difference.

At Elara Caring, our skilled home health stroke rehabilitation program is designed to meet these challenges head-on, helping patients reclaim strength, function and independence right where they feel most comfortable: at home.

Why the First 12 Months Matter Most

The first year after a stroke is the most critical period for recovery. During these 12 months, the brain is especially responsive to rehabilitation, meaning consistent, targeted therapy can significantly improve long-term outcomes.

Elara Caring’s stroke program was created with this critical recovery window in mind—leveraging clinical expertise, proven rehabilitation protocols and practical tools that support meaningful progress each step of the way.

Skilled Home Health That Puts Patients First

Our skilled home health stroke program brings rehabilitation directly to the patient’s home, reducing stress, improving safety and supporting stronger engagement in therapy.

Through individualized, goal-driven care, our interdisciplinary team works collaboratively to guide patients through recovery. This includes:

Expert Clinical Care & Individualized Planning

Our team includes:

• Skilled nurses
• Physical therapists
• Occupational therapists
• Speech therapists

Together, they develop and implement a personalized care plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs, abilities and goals. Whether improving mobility, strengthening daily living skills, enhancing communication or supporting medication and symptom management, our clinicians provide compassionate, evidence-based care.

A Therapy-Focused Rehabilitation Approach

Our stroke rehab program is built to restore function and confidence. Clinicians use targeted interventions to help patients:

• Improve balance, strength and coordination
• Adapt daily routines to new physical or cognitive challenges
• Enhance communication and swallowing abilities
• Reduce risk of complications or hospital readmission

Each step is guided by best practices and tools proven to improve outcomes during stroke recovery.

Patient Guide for Ongoing Support

Recovery doesn’t end when therapy sessions do. Patients and caregivers receive a specialized Stroke Patient Guide—a comprehensive booklet with:

• Easy-to-understand education about stroke
• Training on compensation techniques
• Tips for home safety and fall prevention
• Strategies to build independence
• Guidance to support emotional and physical wellbeing

This resource helps reinforce therapy goals and keeps patients engaged in their recovery between visits.
