A stroke is a loss of brain function due to a disturbance in the vessels supplying blood to the brain, often caused by thrombosis or an embolism, or due to a haemorrhage. Often the affected area of the brain can’t function properly, which can lead to difficulties with movement, speech and sometimes partial blindness.Having a stroke or series of TIA’s (Transient Ischaemic Attacks) is often life-changing, but having the ability to remain at home following a stay in hospital will minimise the disruption to life’s routines.
