Every second counts during a stroke 🧠 but most adults in the U.S. don't know how to recognize the signs. To help reduce your and your loved ones' stroke risk, remember the acronym F.A.S.T.:

F: Face drooping
A: Arm weakness
S: Speech difficulty
T: Time to call 911

This World Stroke Day, we're making sure everyone knows that spotting the signs early can make the difference between recovery and long-term disability. And no matter how a stroke has affected your loved one, our caregivers at Home Care Assistance provide specialized support for stroke recovery.

❓ What’s the difference between 24-hour care and hourly care?

With 24-hour care, caregivers stay in shifts around the clock—providing constant supervision, safety, and support.

Hourly care, on the other hand, is flexible and available in blocks (minimum of four hours), perfect for families who need help at certain times of the day.

At Home Care Assistance, we understand that each family is unique, and we'll work with you to find the right option for your loved one.

🧠 On World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that emotional well-being is just as important as physical health—especially for older adults.

Seniors facing isolation, memory loss, or health challenges often need extra support to protect their mental health. Here are three ways you can support your loved one's peace of mind:

1. Encourage peaceful routines for mental calm and emotional stability
2. Use stress-relieving techniques for quieter thoughts, better sleep, and improved life satisfaction
3. Foster an environment of calm where predictability creates security

Need help creating an ideal environment for your loved one? Get additional tips in our Learning Center: https://homecareassistanceservices.com/health-and-wellness/foster-peace-of-mind

Peace of mind is a vital part of healthy aging, helping seniors reduce stress, strengthen resilience, and lower risks of chronic conditions. Simple daily routines, stress-relief practices, and caregiver support can foster emotional calm, improving overall quality of life and well-being.
