Correct answer: C — Community stroke rehabilitation team

Stroke rehabilitation should be organised through a multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation team in hospital and community settings. A falls service may later contribute, but it does not replace stroke-specific speech, occupational and physiotherapy input. Rehabilitation goals should be individualised and shared with the patient and carer.
