Meet the team Careers News & events Contact us What we do Conditions we treat About neurorehabilitation Locations Families Professionals Home / Professionals Positive outcomes We are passionate about rehabilitation which maximises independence and recovery, so residents can return home and live more independent lives. With an average length of stay of 5.7 months for rehabilitation and with 85% of our residents being discharged to live more independently at home, our goal-oriented approach ensures that everyone works towards the best outcome for the individual. Successful rehabilitation reduces the length of hospital stays and the lifetime costs of care, with research-based evidence proving the effectiveness of specialist rehabilitation for people with traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries and stroke. We work closely with the NHS, funding authorities, the resident and their family to ensure that there is a smooth transition when being admitted to and when leaving Christchurch Group. The length of the resident’s stay will vary according to the aims agreed on admission and the individual potential of each resident. Nationally recognised outcome measures monitor and record progress and are produced for resident reviews and in the discharge reports produced for each resident. Christchurch Group can accommodate adults aged over 18 years old. - WATCH: Professor Mike Barnes introduces the importance of goal setting for good outcomes in neurological rehabilitation. Make a no-obligation referral to Christchurch Group. Make a referral Please contact us to arrange an assessment. Christchurch Group staff (including at least one clinician) will arrange to assess their needs and find out if they would benefit from a period of specialist neurological assessment and/or rehabilitation. You will be asked to provide copies of recent clinical reports and as much background detail as possible. In addition to providing rehabilitation, we also accommodate patients requiring intermediate care including re-enablement for up to 6 weeks. Assessments will be conducted within three working days of receiving a formal referral. At this stage, clinicians also discuss rehabilitation goals with the family and review recent clinical reports to gather as much background information as possible. This enables them to make the most effective recommendations. Following an assessment and interdisciplinary team meeting, Christchurch Group will make recommendations via a formal written report. If a placement is recommended, then a comprehensive assessment report and bed offer will be sent with costs. Prior to admission, individuals and their families are welcome to visit the recommended centre so everyone can meet staff and see the facilities. To make a referral, email our referrals team Referrals or call 01904 430600. Rehabilitation pathways Christchurch Group centres offer a range of accommodation to reflect the developing independence of residents, including en-suite bedrooms, bedsits, independent living flats, transitional living units and small community houses. The rehabilitation pathway sets out what should occur during the specified period using evidence-based guidelines. The interdisciplinary team work closely together to develop, monitor and evaluate outcomes to ensure that residents reach their rehabilitation goals where possible. Rehabilitation plans focus on the cognitive, social, emotional, psychological and physical effects of the condition and consider the individual’s long and short-term goals. There are sometimes occasions when people are unable to move home or into supported accommodation due to having complex needs which will not improve. For these residents, longer-term community placements are provided, with individual care plans designed to maintain levels of independence and facilitate a high quality of life with opportunities to take part in meaningful social and occupational activities. Christchurch Group can provide rehabilitation for individuals who are subject to detention under the Mental Health Act and move them through the rehabilitation pathway as they progress. Our interdisciplinary teams work collaboratively to monitor, regulate and reduce episodes of challenging behaviour and help individuals develop strategies and techniques for effective behaviour change. Solicitors and case managers We know that rehabilitation following a catastrophic injury is the key to an individual regaining their independence. We strive to enable individuals to be discharged back to their own homes or to a supported environment, with greater functional ability and autonomy.
