1
Hemiparesis-aware support
Workers trained on safe transfer and personal care for participants with one-sided weakness. Pacing the day around real fatigue limits.
Stroke
Six months of unbroken routine is what stroke recovery actually looks like.
Stroke recovery is built on consistency, not novelty. We assign a small team, document the routines, and protect them from the disruption that derails most home programs.
What WEYA actually does
The clinical specifics, not the brochure.
2
Communication and aphasia support
Our team is comfortable with non-verbal participants, communication boards, and slowed-speech conversation. Patience is part of the job description, not an extra.
3
Therapy carryover
Continuing physiotherapy and speech pathology programs at home with the documentation discipline allied health partners actually trust.
4
Real-life rebuilding
Therapy pool sessions, farmers markets, family birthdays. The return to daily life that stroke survivors define for themselves and we protect.
Who this page is for
If any of this sounds like your situation, the next step is a meet & greet.
- Adults post-stroke, ischaemic or haemorrhagic, with physical or communication impairment
- Participants discharged from rehab wards needing 20+ weekly hours
- Families who want a stable team for the first six months home
- Hospital and community OTs looking for a clinical partner who continues their program
The fears we hear most
Named honestly. Answered clinically.
“The worker rushes my partner because the shift is busy.”
Our response
WEYA shifts are scoped to the participant's pace, not the worker's checklist. Slowed mornings, double-handing where required.
“The communication support is patronising.”
Our response
We hire for adult communication. Aphasia or dysarthria does not change how we speak to a participant.
“The new worker means starting from scratch.”
Our response
Same dedicated team. Documented routines. Cover shifts are briefed before they begin.
The clinical detail
What every Stroke placement gets, by default.
- Hemiparesis-safe transfer competency confirmed before first shift
- Communication strategies documented in the participant's plan
- Therapy carryover notes shared with allied health partners on a weekly cadence
- OT-led intake within 24 hours; clinical discovery meeting led by Josh
