Stroke support group

If you have survived a stroke or are a loved one caring for a stroke survivor, consider attending our support group to learn coping strategies after a stroke, lifestyle changes at home and in public and coping mechanisms to relieve stress on the caregiver.

The group is open to existing patients, former patients and non-patients of Genesis, as well as family members and caregivers of stroke survivors.

Genesis offers a support group for stroke survivors, families and caregivers. Stroke survivors can reach their full potential after rehabilitation by connecting with people who have experienced similar challenges.

There are speakers, discussions, light refreshments and the following at each meeting:

Practical tools for survivors to regain a sense of normalcy in everyday life.
Opportunities for stroke survivors to support and learn from each other.
Information about adaptive technologies you can try.

The group is open to the community and free to attend. You do not have to be a patient of the Genesis HealthCare System to attend.

Meeting times and location

Quarterly group meetings are on Mondays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Genesis Outpatient Rehabilitation, 3297 Maple Ave., Zanesville. Light refreshments are provided.
