About Stroke Care for you
A stroke is a serious condition occurring when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, causing brain cells to deteriorate without sufficient oxygen and nutrients. It’s typically caused by a blood clot or a ruptured blood vessel. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, irregular heart rhythms, diabetes, and lifestyle choices.
Over 100,000 people in the UK experience strokes yearly. Treatment often involves tailored medications, but for many survivors, strokes lead to lasting impacts. At Greenvilla Care, we offer compassionate, quality care to aid stroke management. Our personalized services focus on supporting individual independence and, when possible, aiding recovery.
