Before You Arrive
Almost all patients will have taken part in a pre admission assessment, at our centre, or at home. A written report is provided, giving a focus to your time with us.
Therapy recommendations will have been made and discussed, a related rehabilitation care pathway put in place for you.
Pathways are as individual as the people they help and you can expect to meet the team working with you at an early stage. Further assessment may then take place, goals and plans be honed.
A pleasant, private room will be ready for you, with an en-suite bathroom and any special facilities you require. If you wish, your family, or friends can be involved with helping you settle in.
Our team are there to offer you, or those with you support, for each day you are with us and from the moment you arrive.
