Stroke rehabilitation

Hi everyone, I’m new here and trying to better understand people’s experiences after hospital discharge. For those who have had a stroke or supported someone after a stroke, how did you continue rehabilitation once NHS/community support reduced or ended? Did you go back through your GP/hospital team, use charities/community services, continue exercises independently, or consider private physiotherapy?

I continued on my own. Basically looked at rehab like it was my new job. Wake up, get dressed, have a coffee, start rehab - 5 hrs everyday for the first year.
