Two weeks after my father-in-law had a stroke, the stroke outreach service based the the City Hospital, Nottingham, made contact.
Sally Chaffey and Tamara Stewart came regularly over the next 5 weeks and were very kind and helpful. Tally Smith also came twice to assess Dad's problems with eating and swallowing, and gave him some excellent advice.
The team have a very positive approach which helped Dad to realise that he would improve, and gave us lots of ideas as to how we could help him.
They also arranged for some aids to help Dad around the house - stair rail, commode, chair raiser, grab rails.
They have helped him to regain his independence.
