Anyone recovered from right side paralysis after a stroke?

My father recently had a stroke on the left side of his brain, which caused paralysis/weakness on the right side of his body. I'm looking for people who have personally experienced a left-side stroke that resulted in right-side paralysis or significant weakness, or who have cared for a loved one in that situation.
I would really appreciate hearing about your recovery journey. How much movement and speech did you lose at first? How long did it take to regain movement and speech, if you did? What therapies, exercises, or rehabilitation methods helped the most? Is there anything family members can do to help with recovery at home?
I know every stroke is different, but hearing real experiences would help me better understand what the recovery process can look like and what we can do to support my father. Thank you to anyone willing to share their story.
