This sounds like something every country should have rather than the stroke associations that are only for doctors and don't care about survivors.

ARNI is a Charity, originally founded in 2001 for stroke survivors around the UK who are in the rehabilitation phases of stroke.
It enlists the assistance of highly qualified physical trainers and physical therapists to help you. Its trainers are sought out one by one by the Charity and trained over an extended period of time. (see Instructors). There are currently over 70 ARNI Instructors in the UK. Groups of Instructors are now being sponsored by the NHS Stroke Networks, Councils and Charities to go through the Accredited Functional Training After Stroke CPD Course
The ARNI Trust matches stroke survivors with these personal trainers and physical therapists who usually charge a small amount for personal care.
Their aim is to take you from the stage where a physiotherapist becomes unavailable or the treatment being given to you seems to be becoming ineffective for your more active needs, to the stage where you can go on to make training part of the activities that you choose to make up part of your daily life..
