Teresa, If you phone the Stroke Association helpline they may help regarding support groups in your area, both for yourself as a carer and his physio/exercise needs. I live in an area where the Stroke Association have a Life After Stroke Centre which offers exercise classes and trips out for Carers and survivors. I will look for a link to the Disabled Holiday Group, which might be of use.
Have a look at www.arni.uk.com. Its a charity that has trainers that will come to you to work with your husband on suitable exercises to help his recovery. This is their website: www.arni.uk.com
I would encourage him to do Frenkel exercises in bed if he can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLIeqDWYVao
Seven months is very early on after a stroke, there's a lot more to do to ensure recovery continues, just don't let it get stuck in a rut at this stage. His brain is still repairing, although not as quickly. It will improve.
