Volunteer Facilitated Discharge Assistance and Supports at Home (DASH) for People With Stroke

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a home visit by a trained volunteer can improve stroke recovery after a stroke survivor is discharged home from the hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. After 3 months of being discharged from the hospital, does this additional volunteer support at home improve coping skills for stroke survivors? 2. Does the effects of the volunteer support last over 3 to 6 months after being discharged home? Researchers will compare between a group who will receive the volunteer support and a group who will not to see if the additional support can improve stroke recovery. Participants will: * Either receive volunteer support over an 8-week time period OR receive no additional volunteer support * Continue with their usual care plan and receive educational resources from the research team during the study * Complete online surveys during study enrollment, at 3 months, and at 6 months after hospital discharge
