Recovery and Quality
of Life after a CVA
At Happyhomecare we do not see a CVA as the end, but as the beginning of a new chapter in your life. A chapter in which recovery and quality of life are central. Our healthcare providers are specially trained to support you with the physical and cognitive challenges that a stroke entails.
From personal care to medication management and from physical rehabilitation to cognitive support, our 24/7 home care is aimed at helping you increase your independence. We use the latest technologies and work closely with medical teams to speed up your recovery.
We understand that every recovery process is unique. That's why our care plans are flexible and tailored to your individual needs. And because we know that your family plays an indispensable role in your recovery, we actively involve them in the care process.
