Hi @Poppy1 and welcome to the forum.
You or your mum can phone the Stroke Association Helpline 0303 3033 100 for any practical or emotional help. They can also arrange a weekly one to one chat

Hope these links will help you. I know it’s going to be hard to begin with, but the hospital won’t send him home without a care package in place. But as you say, your mum will need some support too to cope with these changes and seeing her husband this way can be heart breaking. I know it’s a slow climb to recover but it will continue get better over the next few months so don’t let get disheartened. It’s always 2 steps forwards and 1 back.
