Purpose Following stroke, individuals who live in a low-income or are at risk of living in a low-income situation face challenges with timely access to social services and community resources. Understanding the usual care practices of stroke teams, specifically, how they support this access to services and resources, is an important first step in promoting the implementation of practice change. Method A qualitative multiple-case study of acute care, inpatient, and outpatient rehabilitation stroke teams in an urban area of Canada. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires about the workplace context were conducted with 19 professionals (social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists) at four sites. Results In their usual practice, stroke teams prioritized immediate care needs. The stroke team professionals did not address income or resources unless it directly affected discharge. Usual care was influenced by factors such as time constraints, lack of knowledge about services and resources, and social service system limitations. Conclusion To better support post-stroke access to social services and resource for low-income individuals, a multidisciplinary approach, with actions beginning earlier on and extending throughout the continuum of care, is recommended, in addition to system-level advocacy.
