Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre and Neurodisability Service
Located in Southeast London, our specialised centre has two units which provide comprehensive assessment, rehabilitation, care and community reintegration for adults with acquired brain injury and neurological conditions.
The Thames Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit is registered with the Healthcare Commission and the Mental Health Act Commission and is therefore able to admit detained patients. Rehabilitation is provided in a secure environment for people with cognitive and behavioural disability following acquired brain injury, such as traumatic, anoxic, younger strokes. Some patients may also have a mental illness.
Heathside Neurodisability Unit is registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The unit provides rehabilitation for individuals following brain injury or other neurological conditions, e.g. stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease. The unit also provides long term care for a small number of people with total physical dependency needs. These patients may have severe levels of physical disability and/or cognitive disability, but behavioural disturbance is less of a feature.
Treatment
Our programmes are tailored specifically to meet the needs of each individual to enable them to achieve their personal goals, reduce disability, improve outcome and quality of life.
We aim to be a centre of excellence in the provision of specialised brain injury and neurodisability rehabilitation services. The multidisciplinary team is committed to providing high standards of care and treatment, which focus on the individuals' needs, reflects their wishes and incorporates the individuals' basic rights for privacy, dignity and respect.
