Description

Post Stroke Patient Handbook is a curated directory of resources for stroke survivors and caregiver families in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties, California — compiled by Connie Dello Buono, founder of Motherhealth’s Bay Area home care agency.

This handbook goes beyond general advice — it names the actual organizations, hospitals, and support groups families can contact for stroke rehabilitation, adaptive fitness, and caregiver support in the South Bay.

What’s inside:

• A directory of rehabilitation, social support, and adaptive fitness organizations, including AbilityPath and the Bay Area Outreach & Recreation Program (BORP)
• County-level caregiver resources through Santa Clara County Senior & Adult Services and San Mateo County Aging & Adult Services
• The Stroke Support Group of Northern California, for stroke survivors and caregivers
• Hospital-based stroke centers, including El Camino Health, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and Stanford Health Care’s Stroke Center
• Transportation, meal delivery, and referral resources through Sourcewise (Santa Clara County) and Peninsula Family Service (San Mateo County)
• How to access home care and 24/7 caregiver support directly through Motherhealth

A practical reference for South Bay families navigating stroke recovery — whether coordinating hospital discharge, finding outpatient rehab, or arranging in-home caregiving support.
