    Introduction

    Recovering from a stroke is a marathon, not a sprint. The "Golden Period" (first 3-6 months) is critical for neuroplasticity. However, rehabilitation centers in the UK or US can cost $15,000 - $30,000 per month, draining life savings.

    India offers a lifeline: Luxury rehabilitation centers with 24/7 care for $1,500 - $3,000 per month.

    What You Get

    Indian rehab centers are often located in serene nature spots and offer:

    • Multidisciplinary Team: Neurologists, Physios, Speech Therapists, and Psychologists.
    • Intensive Therapy: 4-6 hours of active therapy daily (vs 1 hour in many Western nursing homes).
    • Robotic Rehab: Use of Exoskeletons to retrain walking.

    Cost Comparison (Monthly)

    CountryAvg Monthly Cost
    USA$20,000+
    UK (Private)£15,000+
    India (Luxury)$2,500 - $4,000
    India (Standard)$1,000 - $1,500

    One-on-One Care

    In India, affordable labor means patients often get a dedicated bedside nurse 24/7, preventing bedsores and ensuring hygiene—a level of care almost impossible to afford in the West.

    Conclusion

    Give your loved one the best chance at recovery. Indian rehabilitation centers offer the intensity and duration of care needed to rewire the brain, without the financial stress.
