As we age, there are many things that we need to look out for concerning our health. One concern is seeing the signs of a stroke. Strokes occur when a blood clot blocks blood and oxygen flow to the brain. Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke, 87% of which are life-threatening. At BeeHive Homes, our goal is to educate those at risk, especially the elderly. Below is a list of things to be aware of related to strokes.

  • Slurred Speech
  • Facial Drooping
  • Arm Weakness
  • Sudden Vision Problems
  • Difficulty with Communication

It is critical to call 911 immediately if you or a family member experience any of the above symptoms. Speed is vital to lessen brain damage and have a positive outcome. An easy way to remember the signs of a stroke is to remember the acronym F.A.S.T.

F (face)
A (arms)
S (speech)
T (time)

As you age, keeping an eye on your health and any warning signs is extremely important. Many seniors are at higher risk for certain diseases and medical emergencies. If the safety of an elderly loved one is a concern, the caretakers at BeeHive Homes in New Mexico are here to help. We offer assisted living services, memory care, and short-term care. Our skilled staff is available for any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to reach out to us at any time.
