Outcome was assessed in 82 3(+)-year survivors from a cohort of 229 patients admitted to hospital with acute stroke; 71% were independent or only mildly disabled, 76% were living at home. Institutionalized patients were significantly older, less often married, and had more cognitive impairment than those at home. No patient who produced normal picture drawings (house, man, clock) was in institutional care, only two patients living alone had abnormal drawings. Of patients at home 39% had not seen their general practitioner (GP) in the last 6 months. GPs were less likely to see patients who were more severely disabled (p less than 0.05). Targeting of services seemed poor, there was no relationship between level of dependence and level of support from voluntary or statutory services. Forty-four of 49 chief informal carers were also interviewed; 30% showed marked strain. Carers had more problems with emotional reactions, sleep and social isolation than expected.
