The road to recovery is a long and
difficult one for stroke survivors and their families. Academy Award-winning
actress, Patricia Neal, is a stroke survivor who guides us through
this video that demystifies strokes and their effects on both patient
and family. Caregivers learn what they can do to promote patient recovery
and family well being, beginning with acute care. Stressing the value
of laughter and compassion, this video offers valuable emotional insights.
Neal's presentation is not only a prescription for recovery; it is a triumphant
inspiration for others. By placing an emphasis on rehabilitation and patient
survival, this video sheds light on an area of care that is commonly overlooked
in the U.S. This documentary is a major milestone for the support and
education of the millions who are personally affected by stroke, most
of whom are elderly.
