Within the first 90 days of the “Golden Period,” the following are the fundamental steps that must be taken to provide rehabilitation care:

The recovery prognosis of a patient should be determined according to the kind, severity, and site of the stroke. The corresponding multidisciplinary office leads, which include physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, dieticians, and psychologists, establish a baseline status after taking other co-morbidities like hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, and avoidable health conditions like falls, desire, infectious diseases, etc. into consideration.

Goal-setting: Following the conclusion of the interdisciplinary baseline examination, a personalized care plan with the main objective is provided to and approved by the family to establish practical and consensual goals for improved recovery.

A choice to maintain or change the care plan based on progress must be made after continuous analysis and re-evaluation of performance measures to ensure the path to recovery. Each care plan is personalized based on the person’s condition for an effective and accelerated recovery since the consequences of a stroke vary from person to person.

Empowerment: By the time we discharge a patient, the family and individual are capable of taking care of their own needs. Post-discharge care will guarantee a continuum of care that meets the requirements.

Summary

Upon confirmation of the stroke diagnosis, a unique treatment strategy will be developed and carried out. You or even a beloved one will be accompanied on this road of treatment and recovery by your doctor, who will clarify each step.
