We provide comprehensive interdisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation programmes to patients aged 18 and over with acquired brain injury, neurological conditions and complex medical disability.
As the unit is based within the Wellington Hospital with ready access to intensive care and acute services, we are able to accept patients at a very early stage when they may continue to require a high degree of medical and nursing care. This enables us to provide necessary medical and nursing care whilst commencing a rehabilitation programme thus ensuring that potential secondary complications are avoided. The programme is then progressed as appropriate.
All of our rooms have an en-suite shower room specifically designed for individuals with varying levels of ability. The therapy facilities are also of a very high standard with two large gym areas and a state-of-the art hydrotherapy pool. In addition to this we have access to a wide variety of therapy equipment and aids to daily living which promote independence and support best practice guidelines.
We place the patients and their families at the centre of everything that we do. We monitor progress through setting goals and work towards a discharge plan that is established where possible prior to admission and is appropriate for the patient's needs and wants.
