Stroke Care and Rehabilitation in Malaysia

It includes hygiene assistance, wound care, nutritional management, medication administration, regular repositioning, and health monitoring. Care can be provided in a residential nursing home or at home, depending on the patient’s condition and the family’s situation.

A person may become bedridden following a severe stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, advanced cancer, major surgery, or advanced stages of conditions such as dementia or Parkinson’s disease.

Professional nursing care reduces the risk of serious complications in bedridden patients by providing regular repositioning, wound care, catheter management, medication administration, and health monitoring.
