"START (Stroke Transition and Rehabilitation Team) Forth Valley"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Stroke Transition & Rehabilitation Team (START)

(as a relative),

My husband was discharged from the Bellfield Centre Stirling to continue his physio and rehab with START Forth Valley. From day one he has received excellent care and physio from the team, (physio Jen and OT Simone).

Physio Jen has provided intensive 1-1 physio at home that has enabled my husband to see positive improvements. She has shown how providing consistency and bringing positive energy is so important in rehabilitation, especially in what can be very difficult times for a stroke survivor. 

OT Simone has worked tirelessly to improve his upper body movement and aid his comfort, and has continually been there to support both my husband and I throughout our time with START. She has been invaluable to us. 

Overall, the service provided by START is excellent and these staff are a huge asset to the team. START has shown my husband and I that providing consistent physio and rehab at home is just as important, if not more important, than in a hospital setting.
