Abstract
Acute neurological incidents, for example, stroke, traumatic brain injury, infection or cardiac arrest are sudden, often unforeseen and always life-changing. When people have been hospitalised for such events, the time eventually comes when they leave hospital and start to live the rest of their life in a community setting. The first author in this chapter is a consultant rehabilitation physician who has been working for more than 20 years with people who have experienced such events and are living in the community.
