What happens after you request support in Tweed Heads
1. Identify rehab priorities
Work out whether the main focus is physical recovery, communication, cognitive rehabilitation, daily living skills, or a combination across multiple areas.
2. Compare neuro-specialist providers
Look for providers with therapists who have specific neurological rehab training. Compare how quickly they can start and whether they can deliver the intensity your rehab plan requires.
3. Coordinate the transition
If transitioning from hospital, ask how the provider works with discharge teams, whether they continue existing rehab goals, and how they manage the shift to community-based support.
For aged care, confirm whether the provider has neuro-trained allied health staff, can deliver rehabilitation at the frequency recommended by your specialist, and coordinates with hospital discharge teams.

Understanding Post-Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery Care
Post-stroke care for older Australians addresses the ongoing disability that follows a stroke. Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in Australia, and many survivors over 65 live with lasting effects including one-sided weakness, speech and language difficulties, swallowing problems, cognitive changes, and fatigue. For people over 65, ongoing post-stroke support is funded through the aged care system rather than the NDIS. The extent of recovery depends on the severity of the stroke, the area of the brain affected, and the quality and consistency of rehabilitation. While the most rapid recovery occurs in the first 3-6 months, meaningful improvement can continue for years with ongoing therapy and structured support. The transition from hospital rehabilitation to community-based care is where many older Australians experience a gap in services, and getting the right home-based support in place quickly makes a significant difference.
How post-stroke care affects daily life
Post-stroke life for older Australians often involves managing one-sided weakness (hemiplegia or hemiparesis), which affects walking, dressing, cooking, and personal care. Speech difficulties (aphasia) affect communication with family, friends, and health professionals. Swallowing problems require modified diets. Fatigue limits how much can be achieved in a day. Cognitive changes affect memory, concentration, and planning. Depression is common and often goes untreated. Falls risk increases significantly. Many older stroke survivors live alone or with an ageing partner, which means home-based support is essential for safety and quality of life.
What to look for in a provider
Good post-stroke providers for older Australians combine ongoing rehabilitation with practical daily support. Ask whether their therapists have neurological rehabilitation experience, whether they can provide therapy in the home, and how they coordinate between therapy goals and support worker tasks. Red flags include providers who assume rehabilitation has ended simply because the person is out of hospital, who only offer personal care without therapy, or whose workers are not trained in hemiplegia support, safe transfers, and communication with people who have aphasia.
How to access funding
For people over 65, post-stroke support is accessed through My Aged Care (1800 200 422). An ACAT/ACAS assessment determines eligibility for a Home Care Package. Many stroke survivors need Level 3 or 4 packages for the combination of therapy, personal care, and nursing they require. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme can provide interim support while waiting for a Home Care Package. Transition care (after hospital discharge) may bridge the gap. The Stroke Foundation provides guidance on accessing support after stroke.
