Is there life after stroke?

According to the American Stroke Association, one in six of us will experience stroke in our lifetime. Today, for #WorldStrokeDay, we are encouraging everyone to learn about reducing the risk because it's estimated that 80% of strokes are preventable. This downloadable brochure details steps you can take.

However, if you or a loved one has suffered a stroke, inpatient rehabilitation – including physical, occupational, and speech therapy – is the best way to get your life back. At the Aldersgate Recovery Center, stroke-recovery experts from RehabCare design programs that target each patient's specific care needs. At our facility, these programs, combined with compassionate and dedicated therapists, have been shown to improve patient function by an average of 77%.

So yes, there can be life after stroke, but only if you get the help you need quickly. Studies have shown that the earlier your start your therapy, the greater your chances for recovery. Call us today, or ask your physician to contact our admissions coordinator at (785) 409-9032.
