The Stroke Association Spain

Postby Jan » Sun Jan 21, 2018 11:50 pm

Here is a summary of the Stroke Association Spain (written by the president Paul Owen)
Casa de Cultura, calle Francisco Ribera Perez num 7 Benijofar 03178, Alicante.
The group is available to all Stroke sufferers and their carers, and provides a safe and therapeutic
Environment that aims to facilitate stroke recovery,
SaS also welcomes volunteers who have the skills. Knowledge and commitment to support the
Groups activities.
After a Stroke, those who have the right side affected may suffer from aphasia.
This is a acquired communication disorder the impairs a person’s ability to process language but does
Not affect intelligence. Aphasia impairs the ability to speak and understand others, and most people
With aphasia experience difficulty reading and writing.
Here at The stroke group we have a speech Therapist to help with all matters concerning speech.
Rehabilitation, The aim of Rehabilitation is to try to restore physical and mental abilities, as far as
Possible, to your pre-stroke state. As your rehabilitation continues you may wish to take up your previous occupation, hobbies or interests. Alternatively you may wish to learn new skills and activities. At the stroke group we have a well-equipped Rehabilitation unit with qualified volunteers.
Mental Health, Here at the stroke group we have a mental health nurse who runs our carers meeting in group form as well as one to one if required. And has been a great asset to the group.
Nurse, Stroke support also has a Resident Nurse who is here to help with all nursing problems as well as taking Blood pressure, Weight control, and Dietary Advice.
The group have a meal out once a month which is subsidised by Stroke support.
If you would like to know more about Stroke support or could help with our activities

We can’t sing the praises of this group enough!
We met Paul, and his partner Pat at their fundraising stall at the El Moncayo car boot sale about 18 months ago.
My wife had previously suffered a stroke a couple of years earlier and we went along to the group to check it out. We were immediately made to feel welcome and my wife has received lots of help and encouragement from Paul & Pat and from other members of the group.

Since they’ve moved to the current premises things have become even better. We’ll be there every week once we’re back over in Spain in a coupe of months time. If only there was a local group that’s this good in our local area in the UK.

Pete.
