Our Clinical & Therapeutic Approach
Brain injury is a multi-faceted disability which requires a specialist, interdisciplinary approach, including assessment of both health care and social care needs in the context of the person’s life before their brain injury. We take our time to really get to know people, to understand them and engage in a meaningful and honest way.
The team communicates regularly with all parties, including the residents family and supporters, formally and informally, sometimes, just to make a call to say that their loved one has had a good experience that day. For us it’s not just about working towards the next review, every day counts.
