We know that a stroke can have a profound impact, not just on the individual but on the whole family. That’s why our approach is flexible, personal and focused on rebuilding confidence and independence.
We work closely with you, your family and your healthcare team to create a tailored support plan that fits your goals — whether that means support with daily routines, mobility, or rebuilding skills at your pace.
Stroke care built around your recovery
Our support focuses on rebuilding confidence — whether that’s relearning daily tasks, developing new skills or adapting to changes in your routine. We understand the emotional impact too, and we’re here to support both you and your family every step of the way, including linking you to local services where helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered with Care
01What stroke training do your care teams receive?
All our care and support staff are trained to a nationally recognised standard, including the core principles of stroke care. We also deliver in-house stroke-specific training that covers communication, rehabilitation, risk management and more — ensuring our teams are confident supporting people throughout recovery. Our training is regularly updated in line with clinical best practice.
02Are there different kinds of strokes?
Yes, there are four main types:
- Ischaemic stroke, caused by a clot blocking blood to the brain.
- Haemorrhagic stroke, where a blood vessel bursts and causes bleeding in the brain.
- Subarachnoid haemorrhage, bleeding in the space between the brain and its covering.
- TIA (transient ischaemic attack) or “mini-stroke”, where symptoms pass quickly but still signal serious risk.
Each stroke is different, so recovery and care needs will vary from person to person.
03What symptoms indicate a stroke?
A stroke is a medical emergency. Quick action saves lives. Remember F.A.S.T.:
- Face: Can they smile? Is one side drooping?
- Arms: Can they lift both arms? Does one drift down?
- Speech: Is it slurred or strange?
- Time: If you notice any of these signs, call 999 immediately.
04Can you live well after a stroke?
Yes — with the right support. While a stroke can cause long-term effects, many people regain independence through tailored rehab, therapy and daily support. At Retons Care, we focus on what matters most to you: confidence, progress, and routines that help you feel in control again.
05Where can I find more help with stroke care?
The Stroke Association is the UK’s leading charity supporting stroke survivors and their families. From advice to peer groups, they provide expert guidance at every step of the recovery journey. You can also speak to our team for help arranging stroke care that meets your needs.
