Stroke recovery home care in Century City helps patients regain independence safely at home after a stroke with personalized assistance from licensed aides. According to the CDC, approximately 795,000 Americans experience a new or recurrent stroke each year, and many require specialized home care during recovery. At Senior Home Care Givers 247, we specialize in post-stroke rehabilitation, mobility assistance, and 24/7 supervision to help your loved one recover with confidence in their own home.
What Is Stroke Recovery Care?
Stroke recovery care is specialized in-home support designed for patients who have experienced a stroke and need assistance during their rehabilitation phase. Unlike general senior care, stroke recovery care addresses the unique physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that follow a stroke—including weakness on one side of the body, speech difficulties, memory loss, and reduced mobility.
Recovery from a stroke is a gradual process that can take weeks, months, or longer. During this time, patients often struggle with activities they once performed independently: walking safely, bathing, dressing, preparing meals, and managing medications. Home care allows patients to recover in the comfort of their own environment while receiving professional support that reduces the risk of falls, re-injury, or complications.
Our licensed home health aides work under the supervision of registered nurses and coordinate with physicians, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to ensure your loved one’s recovery plan is followed precisely. This integrated approach helps maximize recovery potential and prevents hospital readmissions, which are common among stroke patients who lack adequate support at home.
Who Benefits Most?
Stroke recovery home care is ideal for patients in the acute and sub-acute recovery phases—typically the first 3 to 6 months after a stroke, though some patients benefit from extended care. However, stroke is just one condition our Century City caregivers support. We also provide specialized care for:
- Parkinson’s disease patients – mobility assistance, tremor management, fall prevention
- Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease – cognitive support, behavioral management, orientation assistance
- Post-surgical recovery – wound care oversight, mobility assistance, pain management coordination
- Chronic illness management – diabetes, COPD, heart disease, kidney disease monitoring
- Limited mobility or frailty – assistance with ADLs (activities of daily living) and instrumental ADLs
- Senior patients recovering from falls or fractures – safe mobility, stairs navigation, bathroom assistance
- Patients requiring 24/7 monitoring – live-in companions for high-risk situations
If your loved one is recovering from any serious health event and struggling to manage at home, stroke recovery home care principles apply. Our free in-home assessment helps determine whether home care is appropriate for your specific situation.

How Care Works—From Free Assessment to Care Start
Getting started with stroke recovery home care at Senior Home Care Givers 247 is straightforward. The first step is a free, no-obligation in-home assessment where one of our care coordinators visits your Century City home to evaluate your loved one’s specific needs, mobility level, cognitive status, and recovery goals.
Based on that assessment, we develop a personalized care plan that specifies the frequency and type of care needed—whether that’s 4 hours daily, full-time, or live-in 24/7 care. We then match your family with an experienced caregiver whose skills and personality align with your loved one’s needs. In most cases, we can begin care within 3 to 5 days.
Once care begins, a registered nurse supervises your caregiver and maintains ongoing communication with your family and your loved one’s physicians. We adjust the care plan as recovery progresses, gradually reducing support as your loved one regains strength and independence. Call us today at (818) 796-5388 to request your free assessment.

Cost & Payment Options
In 2026, private-pay home care in Greater Los Angeles typically costs $35–$45 per hour for skilled, licensed caregivers—with rates varying based on shift length, care intensity, and specialized needs. A live-in arrangement generally ranges from $200–$250 per day plus meals.
However, cost should not be a barrier to necessary care. Senior Home Care Givers 247 accepts multiple payment options:
- Private Pay – direct payment by family members; we can provide detailed invoices for personal records
- Long-Term Care Insurance – if your loved one has an LTC policy, we work directly with insurers to file claims
- VA Aid & Attendance Benefits – eligible veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for up to $2,500–$3,000 monthly for in-home care; we help families navigate the VA application
- IHSS (In-Home Supportive Services) – California’s Medi-Cal program covers in-home care for eligible low-income seniors; we are an authorized IHSS provider
- Medicare Home Health – Important distinction: Medicare covers skilled nursing and certain rehabilitation services (PT, OT, speech therapy) prescribed by a physician for a limited period post-hospitalization. Custodial care (bathing, dressing, meal prep) is NOT covered by Medicare, but IHSS, private insurance, or private pay may cover these essential services

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How quickly can care start after a stroke?
In most cases, we can begin care within 3–5 business days of your free assessment. If your loved one is being discharged from a hospital or rehabilitation facility, we coordinate with the medical team to ensure a smooth transition home. For urgent situations, please call (818) 796-5388 immediately—we maintain on-call staff for emergency placements.
Q: Will the same caregiver visit each time, or will there be different people?
We prioritize continuity of care. Whenever possible, we assign the same primary caregiver to your loved one—this builds trust, maintains routine, and helps with recovery. Backup caregivers are trained on your loved one’s specific needs and preferences in case of illness or vacation. All caregivers are licensed and hold current CPR certification per California law.
Q: Does Medicare cover stroke recovery home care?
Medicare covers skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation (physical therapy, occupational therapy) prescribed by a physician following a stroke hospitalization. However, Medicare does NOT cover custodial care—bathing, dressing, meal prep, and companionship. Those services are covered by IHSS (if Medi-Cal eligible), long-term care insurance, or private pay. We help families navigate all available payment options at no charge.
Q: What if my loved one needs 24/7 care during recovery?
We offer live-in 24/7 home care for post-stroke patients and seniors with high medical needs. A caregiver lives in your home, provides overnight supervision, manages emergencies, and assists with all daily activities. This prevents institutionalization and allows recovery in a familiar, comfortable environment. Call (818) 796-5388 for live-in care pricing and availability.
Q: Are your caregivers trained in stroke-specific care?
Yes. Our caregivers receive ongoing training in stroke recovery, aphasia (speech difficulties), hemiplegia (one-sided weakness), fall prevention, and emotional support for stroke survivors. We coordinate with your loved one’s physical therapist and occupational therapist to reinforce recovery exercises at home. Senior Home Care Givers 247 staff are licensed, bonded, and insured. Contact us at (818) 796-5388 to discuss your loved one’s specific recovery needs.
