At ameriCARE Texas, our caregivers receive specialized training to better support our clients’ Path to Independence after surviving a stroke. Learn more about our #StrokeStrong program from our Administrator, Ashley Smith, in her interview with Occupational Therapist, Emilia Bourland, OTR, ECHM, of Higher Standards Caregiver Training. As a former family caregiver for a stroke survivor, Ashley covers important information about health, safety, and care to help you find the best option for your loved one.
“With #StrokeStrong, we focus on helping our clients relearn skills and abilities to strengthen their path to recovery. Our caregivers are specially trained to help with speech and mobility, creating new routines, providing medication reminders, offering safe bathing and grooming assistance, and participate in games and activities to cover not only our clients’ basic needs but also to provide cognitive supports to improve recovery.”

stroke recovery CARE
We developed #StrokeStrong to better address stroke recovery and stroke rehabilitation. This is and has been something Fort Worth family has been living with for the past thirty years and it often goes unnoticed or overlooked completely. This is unfortunate because there are millions of stroke survivors in the United States alone.
Our CEO’s wife, Kelly, experienced her first stroke when she was 25 years old and her second 11 years later. Her post-stroke care and post-stroke rehabilitation continue to this day. It is so important for family and friends to realize the importance of post-stroke care and learn some easy ways to help their stroke survivor improve their stroke recovery. This program is ameriCARE Fort Worth’s way to help improve the quality of stroke survivor care while also increasing the quality of life for the survivor.
