Further Details
We have 2 units, the TBIRU, that provides neuro rehab for those who are cognitively impaired following a Brain Injury and present with behaviours that challenge other neuro rehabilitation services. HNDU provides services for clients how have complex physical disabilities following a Brain Injury or as a result of a neurological disorder, and require neuro rehabilitation. For both units we generally admit patients direct from the Acute Hospitals as soon as they are medically stable and able to participate or tolerate their rehab programme. We actively look for a discharge placement close to their home so that when they are ready for discharge they can be closer to their friends and families. The average length of stay is 120 days, as we strive to return the clients back to their local community as soon as they are ready.Blackheath Brain Injury and Rehabilitation Centre is situated in a purpose built facility.
