Community Rehabilitation Service

Community Rehabilitation services provide intermediate rehabilitation to service users over 18 years of age in their own homes/care homes. The service assists in preventing hospital admissions, timely discharge from hospital, maximises independent living, and supporting people to live longer in their own homes.

The team consists of AHP Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Rehabilitation Assistants.

Interventions for the majority of service users will last up to six weeks (though there will be individual exceptions). The service does not provide rehabilitation to specialised areas such as stroke, or mental health rehabilitation.
