Caregiver support for stroke recovery in Putrajaya

Start with the person's present abilities and preferences. Note what they do independently, where cueing helps and which activities require physical assistance. The same diagnosis can lead to very different daily routines, so the care request should describe the individual rather than relying on the condition name.

Anything involving a wound, a tube, a dose decision or a swallow assessment needs a written instruction from a qualified professional. A caregiver can follow that sheet and flag what changes. Keep it with the brief from the start.

Decide in advance who hears about what. A quiet change in eating or mobility goes in the daily note; a fall, new confusion or breathing trouble goes to the treating team through the agreed route; a genuine emergency goes to 999 without waiting for anyone to reply.

The nearest other areas with their own guide are further away: Cyberjaya (about 5 km) and Dengkil (about 8 km).
