Rehabilitation for Stroke Recovery at California Post Acute Care
There is Hope for Recovery After Stroke
A stroke can be life-changing, and often makes it difficult to perform everyday activities, movement, speech, and thinking. While the path forward may seem uncertain, recovery is possible. Getting the right care to help you can make all the difference. At California Post Acute Care, we provide a supportive environment and expert therapy services to help stroke survivors regain strength, rebuild skills, and restore independence.
Why Post-Stroke Rehabilitation Matters
Recovering from a stroke is about retraining the brain and muscles to work together again. This requires consistent, targeted therapies designed around each individual’s needs.
At California Post Acute Care, our team of specialists works closely with each patient to create a custom rehabilitation plan that addresses all aspects of recovery from physical ability to emotional resilience.
Our Stroke Rehabilitation Programs
- Physical Therapy – Helps improve strength, flexibility, and coordination.
- Occupational Therapy – Focuses on regaining skills for everyday living, such as dressing, grooming, and cooking.
- Speech & Language Therapy – Supports clearer speech, better communication, and safer swallowing.
- Respiratory Care – Provides assistance for breathing challenges following a stroke.
- Emotional Support Services – Offers guidance for coping with stress, mood changes, and the emotional impact of recovery.
Understanding the Stroke Recovery Timeline
No two recoveries are the same, but many stroke survivors progress through these general stages:
Early Days and Weeks
- Medical stabilization and evaluation.
- Introduction to gentle therapy to address movement, speech, and self-care.
One to Three Months
- Typically the period of most noticeable progress.
- Frequent therapy sessions target walking, talking, and independent living skills.
- Rapid gains are possible with early and consistent rehabilitation.
Three to Six Months
- Steady, continued improvement.
- Therapy focuses on refining abilities, improving balance, and building endurance.
Beyond Six Months
- Many people continue to improve for years after a stroke.
- Ongoing therapy and activity help maintain and enhance regained abilities.
At California Post Acute Care, we welcome patients at all stages of recovery and adjust our approach to match their progress, challenges, and goals.
