Services provided for clients with brain and spinal injuries and long term neurological conditions
The 40 bed rehabilitation unit will provide residential services for clients with brain and spinal injuries, as well as those with long term neurological conditions and other complex needs. A typical user of this service will require a period of specialist community rehabilitation, usually following a period of in-patient NHS treatment. People can also ‘step up’ into the service for blasts of care and rehabilitation in order to help them stay independent, with a view to avoiding long term care placements where possible.
The rehabilitation unit will not be a home for life for the majority of clients. They should stay in the unit for a defined period before moving home or on to one of the range of transitional or permanent supported living placements.
The staff team and the services provided to these clients will focus on preparation for a move to independent supported living. The unit will also be equipped with a range of assistive technologies. The service will also provide very specialised care for complex cases, high dependency assessment beds and an array of short break respite services.
