  3. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: Provide training and support in activities of daily living, such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and meal preparation, to help patients regain independence in their self-care routines.

  4. Cognitive Rehabilitation: Offer cognitive rehabilitation interventions to address cognitive deficits resulting from neurological conditions or stroke. Implement strategies to improve memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning skills.

  5. Upper Limb Rehabilitation: Design and deliver upper limb rehabilitation programs to address difficulties with fine motor skills, coordination, and functional use of the affected arm and hand.

  6. Home Assessment and Modifications: Conduct home assessments to identify potential barriers to independence and safety. Recommend environmental modifications and assistive devices to facilitate patients' return to their home environment.

  7. Community Integration: Facilitate community reintegration and participation in meaningful activities by supporting patients in engaging in hobbies, leisure pursuits, and vocational pursuits.

  8. Carer Training and Support: Provide education and training to family members and caregivers to enhance their ability to support the patient's rehabilitation journey and address their ongoing needs.

  9. Collaborative Care: Work closely with physiotherapists, speech therapists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the Community Neuro-Rehabilitation and Stroke Team to coordinate care and ensure holistic support for patients.

  10. Documentation and Record-Keeping: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, and outcomes measurement in accordance with legal and ethical standards. Ensure confidentiality and privacy of patient information.

  11. Continuous Professional Development: Stay updated with the latest research, advancements, and best practices in neuro-rehabilitation and stroke management. Engage in professional development activities, such as attending relevant training, conferences, and workshops. Seek supervision and engage in reflective practice to ensure professional growth.
