A note from us
When Paul’s daughter first contacted us, she asked the same questions most families ask: What will the days look like? Who will be with him? How will we know he is making progress? We answered them the way we answer every family — in writing, before anyone books a flight.
Paul agreed to share his story because he remembers what it felt like to search for answers from far away. We are grateful to him and his family for that.
If you are comparing centers from overseas
Stories like Paul’s are a starting point, not a prediction. Every stroke is different, and recovery depends on the stroke itself, overall health, how soon rehabilitation begins, and participation in therapy.
If you are weighing options for a family member, we are happy to look at their medical summary and tell you honestly what we can and cannot offer — before you make any travel plans.
