A study on stroke survivors in a rehabilitation unit found that patients successfully retained their old semantic memory (such as general knowledge facts, historical dates, and vocabulary). However, they had severe deficits in forming new episodic memories of recent occurrences (such as what they ate for breakfast, where their ward is located, or who visited them earlier in the day).
Describe how this information could be used by staff to design effective daily support and care routines for these stroke survivors in the rehabilitation unit.
