Post-Kessler Stroke Care — Starts Day of Discharge
Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange, NJ is one of the top stroke rehabilitation centers in the nation — consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report. But the most critical phase of stroke recovery happens after Kessler discharge — at home, where prescribed exercises must be practiced every single day to sustain and build on the progress made during inpatient rehab. Stroke recovery at home after Kessler from 24 HOUR Home Care NJ continues what Kessler started.
Our certified caregivers in Essex County reinforce every PT, OT, and speech exercise Kessler prescribed — daily, in your parent’s own home — under RN supervision coordinated directly with Kessler’s rehabilitation team. The American Stroke Association confirms that daily repetitive practice — not weekly outpatient visits alone — is what drives neurological rewiring.
