Caregiver support for stroke recovery in Kota Bharu

Watch a week before deciding anything. Note the hour of day when things get harder, whether fatigue builds after lunch, how steady the walking is at night, and which tasks the person still wants to own. A caregiver briefed on those specifics is useful from the first shift.

Confusion at the clinical boundary is where households get hurt. State plainly which tasks are ordinary daily support and which need a nurse, therapist or doctor, and confirm who holds each clinical instruction. An enquiry can settle the first list; the second stays with the professionals named on it.

Build the review points in from the start (a quick check after the first shift, a fuller one at two weeks, then monthly) with a short daily record in between. Anything sudden or severe sits outside that rhythm entirely, so keep 999 as the standing exception.

For travel planning, the nearest other areas are Tumpat (about 10 km) and Pasir Mas (about 21 km).
