I read this hoping for some great practical advice, when I returned home after several months at a rehab hospital. I was disappointed in the tips most of which I found were either completely common sense or things I had already learned from my OT. In fact I started my own list of tips and am thinking about a blog or something with what I think is useful advice. Maybe now I'm 2+ years post-stroke I'll reread and see if there's anything helpful for this stage of rehab.

Don't try to read this in early post-stroke care giving. It's depressing how much there is that needs to be accepted, relearned, and so much of it takes months long. Still, this is a useful guidebook.

This is a great book. I wish I had found it sooner. I've shared this book with several friends, as well as providers I work with (I work at a health clinic) to suggest to their patients and their families. Wonderful ideas to help a stroke survivor get back on the road to independence - which is key. It also allows the family, friends, and caregiver to encourage independence.
