May is National Stroke Awareness Month ❤️

According to data collected in 2023, every 40 seconds someone experiences a stroke. Knowing the signs and symptoms of a stroke is extremely important, as early recognition and quick medical attention can greatly increase the chance of survival and reduce the risk of long-term disability.

A helpful way to remember the warning signs is with the acronym BE FAST:

🧠Balance Loss
🧠Eye (vision) Changes

🧠 Face drooping
🧠 Arm weakness
🧠 Speech difficulty
🧠 Time to call 911

If you or someone around you is experiencing these symptoms, seek emergency medical care immediately.

You can read more information about stroke signs, symptoms, and prevention here:

By learning and sharing the B.E. F.A.S.T. and R.Á.P.I.D.O. warning signs, you just might save a life from stroke. Plus, other symptoms. Prepare yourself and loved ones!

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice has granted us freedoms we often take for granted, and we hold deep gratitude for their courage and dedication.

At Aurora House, we are especially mindful of the many veterans and military families we have had the privilege to care for through the years. Their stories, strength, and service continue to leave a lasting impact on our hearts.

This Memorial Day, may we all take a moment to reflect, remember, and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
