A stroke can be life-changing, affecting mobility, speech, and overall independence.

At Live Peace 24/7 Seniors Home Care Corp, we provide compassionate, expert support tailored to meet the unique needs of stroke survivors, ensuring they receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes.
Understanding Stroke Recovery
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to potential damage in areas that control movement, speech, and cognitive functions. Recovery varies for each individual, but early intervention and a structured care plan can improve outcomes.
