| Q. My husband is recovering from a stroke and will be home soon, thank goodness. I think I'll need some help caring for him, at least initially. What would help us both? |

A. For safety reasons, you may find it helpful to have a home health aide assist with his bath. The aide could assist him in and out of the bath or shower and with shaving, shampooing, and any other personal care. If you would like additional services, we can provide a home health aide to help with meals, laundry, light housekeeping and errands. This would give you time to take a few hours for yourself. We would be happy to meet with you and your husband before he comes home. We can answer your questions and offer our suggestions. This meeting is a service we offer at no charge. Families have shared with us that it was very helpful in determining and personalizing care. | ||
