In July and August of 1994, questionnaires were sent to 319 CVA patients who were discharged from Chuzan Hospital between January 1989 and December 1993. The ADL of these patients showed significant improvements since the time of thier discharge from the hospital. Ninety percent of the patients surveyed were very happy with thier daily lives. We concluded that the majority of patients had coped with their handicaps and were living productive lives. However, 40 percent of the care-givers (73 percent are women) noted various care problems because the family members did not haue expertise to deal with certain patient issues. The care givers also complained of physical limitations, and stress, because they either did not know or refused to use available resources. Although CVA patients wanted to go home, they were reluctant because they were not sure what needs to be done. However, once they were in the home environment, thier ADL vastly improved. We must continue to use all available social resources to educate the care-givers so that proper care can be provided. People's prejudice against asking for social resources must be changed, The medical profession needs to coordinate a network to preserve health and welfare programs. Long term care facilities are needed to care for these patients.
