    Community services aid stroke survivors at home, with district nurses and home help being most common. However, some disabled stroke patients still lack necessary community support one year post-stroke.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Public Health
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability.
    • Effective community services are crucial for post-stroke recovery and independence.
    • Understanding service utilization patterns informs healthcare planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utilization of community services by stroke survivors one year after their stroke.
    • To identify the types of community services most frequently accessed by stroke patients.
    • To assess whether community services are reaching stroke survivors with the greatest need.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of stroke survivors from a community-based register were followed up.
    • Data collected one year post-stroke included living situation and community service use.
    • Services analyzed included district nursing, home help, day centers, and meals on wheels.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 492 stroke survivors, 436 were assessed one year later.
    • 147 (38%) of home-dwelling survivors received community services.
    • District nurses and home help were the most utilized services; however, 19% of disabled patients at home received no support.

    Conclusions:

    • Community services appear to be reaching stroke survivors who require significant assistance.
    • A notable gap exists, with a significant number of disabled stroke survivors at home lacking external support.
    • Further research is needed to optimize community service delivery for all stroke survivors.
