Testimonials:
"I come to group for support and fellowship" - Kurt, at age 51, stroke survivor
"My kids are always so glad to hear that I come here. I like that we talk about what to expect (about my recovery)" - Anita, at age 85, stroke survivor
"I learn what problems and medical issues others are dealing with and I like to get out of the house" - Walter, at age 75, stroke survivor
"The friendships we have developed and the trouble we can cause in group!" - Watson, at age 75
"This is more than a stroke group. We don't talk about what we can't do. We talk about life, and how good it is to wake up in the morning." - Jeanette, stroke survivor and caregiver
"A lot of groups take attendance when they meet. We never need to because we know each other that well. If you miss a meeting, we are going to follow up and make sure you're ok." - Raymond, stroke survivor
"I look forward to it every week. We're like a family, and we understand what it's like to go through what we have."
- Mary, aneurysm and stroke survivor
“If I have questions she always gladly answers them in a way I can understand. She is always friendly and giving of her time. Everyone in the class tries to participate in everything the group facilitator asks of them”
From our Caregivers:
“I am a caregiver and used to refer to this group as “mom’s group”, but of late I feel it is my group too! Attending on a weekly basis has really helped both of us! The members of the group are becoming family to both mom and me”
“I think it has helped my husband a lot”
