It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Well, he got worked up by my tirade. His said his BP spiked to 208/114, I thought he was faking it for me to quit b****ing. Well, I left for work at 3 am and he called slurring words and I called ambulance even though I thought it was all a joke to manipilate me. Well, it wasn't, I feel guilty as hell. I am tired more like exhausted caring for DG by myself.
He is out of ICU and is on a cardiac/stroke center floor and I need to arrange rehab tomorrow. I still am not driving over the panic attack and its not safe when I dont know if a car is moving or not and now need to impose on others to drive me. I just feel horrible.

Second stroke in October 2015. Hospital for a week. Rehab for 2 months. 70% physical recovery. Other younger and more active patients had stronger recovery.
Other complications due to quadruple bypass a year before (caught by PCP who suggested an EKG) and Type II diabetes.
Outpatient PT 3 days a week until 2017. Stronger recovery up until that time. One year pause because of Hurricane Harvey. Restarted in 2018 up until March 2020 per COVID.
Ask your doctor to explain just where in the brain this stroke has occurred, and what guesses he/she might have for recovery and in what time frame. Do be aware, that even for an MD knowing this individual case, whatever he or she says is more guesswork than not. Wish you the best going forward.
My husband had a massive stroke at the age of 48, and he lost his ability to walk, talk, use his right arm, read or write. He was in ICU for over a week, and then in the hospital for another week or so, and then went directly into a rehab facility, where he remained for quite a while. He also continued with PT, OT, and speech therapy for months after he got out of rehab. He did learn how to walk again with the help of a brace, though never regained use of his arm. He also regained a little of his speech, though never regained his ability to write except for his name, and eventually was able to read what I was told was at a third grade level.
My husband's neurologist at the time said that a person will regain everything that they're going to, within the first 2 years after the stroke. That was back in 1996, so don't know if that has changed any since. I was also told that because my husband was young at 48 when he had his stroke, he would recover better than someone older.
We actually had a Dr. come into my husbands hospital room, many years after his stroke, and say that after looking at my husbands Cat Scan, he was expecting to see a "vegetable" of a man lying in the bed, because of all the brain damage it showed, and was shocked when he saw my husband sitting up in bed trying to talk.
My husband worked very hard to regain what he did, so because this person is also young, I would guess it will depend on how hard he works to regain anything he's lost because of his stroke.
