Taking care of a family member(s) who suffers from stroke at home especially during the covid-19 pandemic time is unquestionably not easy.

Considering that both stroke survivors and caregivers of post-stroke patients do not only face several problems and conditions related to stroke and stroke recovery as well as community stigma, but several live scenarios are also provided for them especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, further community reintegration ought to exist in the rehabilitation where it can prepare someone who used to suffer from stroke to have ability to do self-reorganization psychologically, physically and socially.
