Dominik Mikulaschek: After a stroke, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book is a practical guide for families, partners, and caregivers who are supporting a loved one after a stroke. It focuses especially on the first 90 days at home, the period after hospital or rehabilitation discharge when many families suddenly face new responsibilities, uncertainty, and emotional pressure.

After a stroke, daily life can change from one moment to the next. Simple routines may become difficult, the home may no longer feel safe, and caregivers often have to manage medication, appointments, mobility, communication challenges, fatigue, emotions, and warning signs without feeling fully prepared. This book helps readers understand what truly matters during this sensitive transition.

The guide explains how to create a safer home environment, reduce fall risks, organize daily routines, recognize possible warning signs, support rehabilitation in everyday activities, and communicate with patience and clarity. It also covers important topics such as mobility, hand and arm training, speech and swallowing difficulties, cognitive changes, personal care, nutrition, medical follow-up, emotional reactions, and caregiver relief.

The goal is not to replace medical advice, but to give caregivers more structure, confidence, and calm in everyday life. Readers learn how to support progress without pressure, how to respond when something feels wrong, and how to protect their own energy while caring for someone else.

With clear explanations and practical orientation, this book helps turn an overwhelming situation into a more manageable path. It gives families a better understanding of the recovery process and shows how safety, patience, routine, and teamwork can make the first 90 days after a stroke more stable, dignified, and hopeful.
