Caregiving Fund
The Stroke Foundation is proud to provide grants for stroke survivors and their caregivers experiencing financial hardship to help cover the cost of in-home care.
¿Qué es?
¿Qué es el Fondo para Sobrevivientes de accidentes cerebrovasculares?
This fund provides direct support for professional in-home care services, including assistance with daily activities, supervision, and, in some cases, skilled nursing care. These services play a critical role in helping survivors remain safe at home while also supporting the overall recovery process.
Focused on equity and accessibility, the Caregiving Fund prioritizes individuals with limited financial means and those navigating gaps in available support. By reducing the burden of care and increasing access to professional in-home services, the fund helps make recovery more sustainable and improves quality of life for both survivors and their families.
