Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. A stroke occurs every 40 seconds, and over 800,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke every year. While some will recover completely, more than ⅔ will have some sort of lasting disability.
After a stroke, changes in memory, language, or movement can make everyday life challenging. Recovery takes time, patience, and the right kind of environment to rebuild confidence and ability. At Parc Provence, our on-site therapy team helps residents regain strength, improve communication, and rediscover independence at their own pace.
Recognizing the Signs of Stroke
Families may notice shifts in memory, speech, or problem-solving that develop gradually after stroke. Recognizing these signs early helps ensure your loved one receives the right mix of therapy, safety, and encouragement. It is important to act quickly if someone may be having a stroke. Call 9-1-1 if you recognize stroke symptoms. Look for the following:
Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, particularly on one side of the body
Difficulty speaking, understanding, or expressing thoughts
Quick onset of difficulty seeing in one or both eyes
Physical weakness or balance challenges
Severe headache with sudden onset and no known cause
