Did you know that stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States? At Touching Hearts at Home we are committed to proper education to know the warning signs of a stroke and also caring for patients recovering from a stroke.
DO YOU KNOW THE SIGNS OF STROKE? Read below to spot a stroke F.A.S.T.
FACE DROOPING
Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
ARM WEAKNESS
Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
SPEECH DIFFICULTY
Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “the sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly?
