Brief Summary:
As the population ages and the number of stroke survivors increases information is needed to determine the best way of providing home care services for rehabilitation to stroke survivors and their caregivers while containing health care costs This project will address this area by developing and testing the effects and costs of a collaborative and specialized team approach to stroke rehabilitation by health professionals in a home care setting compared to usual home care services The overall goal of this way of providing home care services is to improve the quality of life and function of stroke survivors and their caregivers and prevent future strokes which will reduce the overall cost to the health care system
