Some people think it’s easy until they do it themselves. They have no clue how much the job of a caregiver entails.
If you find that you need help, please reach out to others. You can start with your aunt’s doctor, Council on Aging or a social worker.
Is this temporary? What are your concerns? Do you work? How old are you? Can she be left alone? How involved are you in her life?

When did this happen? Where did your aunt live before the stroke?
