We had a stroke, and the left side is not working well. The person was very overweight. They were discharged home after 21 days. They are lying at home, speak poorly, and it's hard for them. We only started training the hands. We can't take them to the rehabilitation specialist because they are too large. Plus, they live in the countryside, not far from the city, but still. What should we do? We probably need disability status. Today, we're bringing a therapist to see him; she promised to do an MRI, but it won't be quick. What are our next steps? Social services? Or where can we go for transportation? I saw there should be a special vehicle that travels around the city, but I don't know where to apply. Regarding medication, they prescribed Mexidol in tablet form. Even when I had a stroke, I took stronger and more serious medications. Who should we call or bring to him? A neurologist? Can they be admitted to the hospital if more serious treatment is needed?

We had a state-provided transport in St. Petersburg, but you need to book it in advance, and I'm not sure if they offer it regularly. That's how my grandma was taken to the hospital when we couldn't drive her.

I can't help with the stroke, I don't know. But what about the Christmas trees, did the situation get resolved?

Nadezda They aren't coming yet, but I've calmed everyone down. I told them we'll have to admit it and tell them how it is, and then we'll figure it out.

Is it from the polyclinic or social services? We're okay with paying, but no one comes. And the price from a private clinic is unaffordable.

We agreed with the rehabilitation center, 3500 per call.

To social services. The ones that travel around the city are paid services.

3500 is still good. They offered us from 6000

There are rehabilitation hospitals/resorts, and social services handle transportation by appointment. I arranged for my mom to go to rehabilitation in Zelenograd (Goluboe/Zhilino village), and a colleague paid for a place near the town of Solnechnogorsk.

After leaving the hospital, you'll need to register with a neurologist at the clinic. The doctor will give you a referral for rehabilitation and any necessary tests. A rehabilitation specialist will come to your home only if you have a disability group. Transportation is most likely handled by social services.

I don't think anyone will budge until they fix the "inv" (likely referring to an invitation or registration process). Yes, social services will probably advise on the procedure and options. I paid for transportation because you can't rely on free services everywhere. Our clinic is just across the road, but we can't get there, and I doubt we'll get to see the specialists we need…
