Caregiver support for stroke recovery in Kuantan

Sort the day into three buckets before anyone quotes hours: what the person handles alone, what needs a prompt or a watchful eye, and what needs someone physically there. The size of that third bucket, more than the condition name, is what actually shapes the shift.

Use written guidance from the treating team for transfers, food texture, fluid limits, exercise, wound care, medication and warning signs. Keep a dated copy where the caregiver can find it, and replace it when the team updates it.

Fix the reporting rhythm early: a daily line on what changed, a same-day call for the things everyone agreed matter, and one named person who receives both. For urgent symptoms, call Malaysia's emergency services on 999 straight away and update the family afterwards.

The nearest other areas with their own guide are further away: Kemaman (about 48 km) and Pekan (about 48 km).
