Further Details

Myland House is a specialist residential continuing rehabilitation centre for adults with acquired brain injury. It forms part of the nationwide network of rehabilitation support services provided by the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT). Myland House works with people who have a range of cognitive, physical and/or emotional symptoms following an acquired brain injury. Service users at Myland House will normally have already experienced a period of intensive rehabiitation prior to admission. Myland House offers a comfortable and smaller home environment, comprising 5 en suite bedrooms plus communal areas including kitchen, lounge, dining room, and extensive gardens. The service at Myland House is led by a Consultant in Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation, who is part of BIRT's Clinical Executive and delivered by a Registered Manager and a team of Rehabilitation Support Workers. Service users have access to a wide range of therapeutic and recreational activities including daily living skills (eg laundry, cookery/food preparation, money management, computer skills). All service users take part in an individualised ongoing treatment programme. This includes learning and therapeutic sessions, personal, social and domestic skills, guided leisure time, community access, behavioural management and vocational training and support.
