Depending on the area and side of the brain affected by the stroke, any, or all, of these functions may be impaired:

Movement and sensation
Speech and language
Eating and swallowing
Vision
Cognitive (thinking, reasoning, judgement).

The effects of a right hemisphere stroke may include:

Left-sided weakness or paralysis and sensory impairment
Denial of paralysis or impairment and reduced insight into the problems created by the stroke (this is called “left neglect”)
Visual problems, including an inability to see the left visual field of each eye
Spatial problems with depth perception or directions, such as up or down and front or back
Inability to localize or recognize body parts
Inability to understand maps and find objects, such as clothing or toiletry items
Memory problems
Behavioral changes, such as lack of concern about situations, impulsivity, inappropriateness, and depression

My Mother, and years later, my Father-in-law each had most of the symptoms you listed after their respective strokes.
That was in the ‘80s.
Outcomes for stroke patients are better today.
