Anyone recovering from a stroke would probably find electric recliner chairs very useful to them.
Even more so the care home that perhaps they are recovering in or even for home carers. A recliner chair or riser recliner chair can be so useful especially if the stroke sufferer is left with some paralysis.
Being able to move their leg or their body by pushing a button can be so good for them and as they progress in their recovery. It is possible that with the help of the carers they will be able to get to a standing position for transfer to a wheelchair to go to the bathroom or perhaps back from the care home lounge back to their own rooms.
Every year in the UK over 150,000 people have a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). That is one person every five minutes. Stroke is the biggest single cause of disability and the third most common cause of death in the UK
Certainly anyone recovering from a stroke will need some time in a nursing or care home and perhaps continuing home visits from carer’s from local care agencies, these people can be invaluable in the recovery of the patient.
The stroke association itself can offer all sorts of valuable help information and guidance for the friends, relatives and carers as well as offering a contact helpline on 0303 3033 100. Also ocal organisations and clubs in local areas can be very useful.
