Rehabilitation & Community
Stroke rehabilitation is a progressive, dynamic, goal orientated process aimed at enabling a person with impairment to reach their optimal physical, cognitive, emotional, communicative, and/or social functional level.
Rehabilitation is a key component of comprehensive stroke care that is provided in acute and post-acute hospital settings, outpatient programs, and in the community.
Following active rehabilitation, service providers in the community play a key role in supporting the stroke survivor and family to re-engage into the community and adjust to their new normal of living with stroke.
“Recovery is a process. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes everything you've got.”

“I am proud to have been a part of this project. When I had my stroke, I found it hard to focus. A map of where I was that showed my stroke journey and the recovery process including what lay ahead would have been useful. I am optimistic that other stroke survivors find hope for their future from this document.”
