The service works with patients and their carers/family/support network to help patients reach their maximum potential both physically and cognitively. In order to do this we have the following professionals;
Nursing Team: The 24 hour nursing team are based in Butler Green to address any nursing needs. The team will involve you in care plans to help you reach your goals.
Physiotherapists: You will meet with the Physiotherapist who will devise an exercise programme for you in order to assist you to achieve your goals. They will provide you with the necessary mobility aids.
Your exercise programme will be reviewed regularly and it is important that it is completed on a regular basis; therapy staff will provide you with supervision to do this.
Occupational Therapists: The Occupational Therapist will discuss with you how you managed with every day activities at home (prior to being unwell), in order to identify what you may now find difficult, for example getting washed and dressed, or managing domestic tasks such as preparing hot drinks or meals.
GPs: We have dedicated GP’s who cover the unit and work with the nursing team to plan your care.
Social Worker: The Social Work team will carry out an assessment with you and your family to ensure a safe discharge. This may include setting up a care packages, helpline etc.
Therapy assistants: Support the therapists to deliver your rehabilitation program.
Care Staff: The care staff on the unit work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They will encourage your independence and provide supervision or assistance when necessary according to your needs and ability.
