In case of caring for long term care for stroke patient who is paralyzed also, there is a need 
for maintaining caring and healthy safe conditions. It requires proper structure of health care 
facilities depending on the circumstances and the ability of the patient’s family member to 
care for the patient. There are few centres also for long term care for stroke patients and 
paralyzed persons who are on wheelchair. Being the working women, it would be best to 
send her father to the rehabilitation centre which would be better for both of them. This is 
because providing adequate and intense care at home for stroke patients actually takes lot of 
time and work and thus requires one full-time care taker. 
The disability arises in any part of the body usually on the side opposite to the damaged side 
of the brain due to stroke which might strongly affect the body of the patient. This one sided 
paralytic situation is called as hemiparesis which makes it difficult for the patient to stay 
alone whole day and to do his own daily activities such as walking and sitting on the bed. 
Therefore, in order to provide proper care and attention to her father it would be best to hire a 
nurse for him so that his needs and requirements can be helped out. 
For assisted care for stroke patients there are facilities provided which includes residential 
care as well. These kinds of services are paid on the basis of services provided as per the 
given settings of these institutions such as that of Assisted living facilities (ALF’s) which 
follow regulations by the states as well. Nursing under ALFs involves light services such as 
that of providing insulin injection to the patient, administration of giving regular and on time 
medicines and also keeping a track over the essential and vital statistics of the patient nearly 
24*7. Hence, medical dispensation and meal provisions to the patients on three times basis 
per day are usual activities of ALFs services for long term care patients.
