Community Resources Life after a stroke is different than before. No matter how much a person recovers, that person is forever changed by the experience. This section will help identify resources in the community to provide support. Both patients and family members or caregivers can benefit from these resources. Local Stroke Support Groups: Frazier Stroke Support Group (in partnership with Louisville Metro Parks - Adapted Leisure Activities) Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital Friendly Folks Stroke Club SIRH Stroke Support Group Stroke Associations: National Stroke Association Kentucky and Southern Indiana Stroke Association American Stroke Association These associations typically have brochures, publications and/or magazines that discuss specific stroke issues. They are written for the stroke survivor and his/her family. Helpful hints and feedback from other stroke survivors is often available. Other Agencies and Associations that may be helpful: American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) American Heart Association Americans with Disabilities Act information American Society of Hypertension Center for Accessible Living Children of Aging Parents Consumer Information Center/Medicare Information Eldercare Locator Family Care Giver Alliance National Association For Incontinence Kentucky Office for Vocational Rehab Medicare Hotline NARIC (references related to disability and rehab) National Aphasia Association National Council on the Aging, Inc. National Council on Disability National Family Caregiver Association National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke National Insurance Consumer Helpline National Rehab Information Center Social Security Administration Vocational Services for the Disabled The Well Spouse Foundation Local Rehab Services: Frazier Rehab Institute (Inpatient) Frazier Rehab Institute (Outpatient) VNA Nazareth Home Care (Home Health) For More Information: It is impossible to list all available resources for you and your family. Often local churches and/or community centers offer programs or services for persons with disabilities. You may want to contact them to explore available assistance. However, your case manager is an excellent resource for questions and information regarding assistance in the community. Your case manager may be able to assist you with investigating funds or programs available to you, attaining a handicap parking permit, applying for TARC 3 for transportation, day programs within your area, and agencies providing assistance with daily living care. Don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding this information. Stroke Information
