Care & Rehabilitation Support
The Brain Injury Centre is registered with and is routinely inspected by the Commission for Social Care Inspectorate (CSCI). Every effort is made to ensure that the criteria for Social Care established in contracts with referring authorities are adequately met.
The Care and Rehabilitation Support Department provides a high standard of support and supervision for clients throughout the 24 hour period. It is committed to Surrey County Council's Charter of Rights for Residents which recognises the personal dignity, autonomy, choices and freedoms for the individual, and maximising independence and personal responsibility.
In addition to promoting the educational and therapeutic goals established by the other specialist departments, the Department negotiates with each client a Care/Life plan which fosters skills in self-care and independent living. Rehabilitation Assistants also contribute to the extension of social skills and leisure opportunities.
Residential clients are registered with a local G.P. practice, but may elect a doctor of their choice within the practice. The G.P. and Senior Care and Rehabilitation Support Assistants facilitate liaison with Consultants and relevant medical services to promote optimum physical and mental health. Each client is allocated a Key Worker and Associate Key Worker as part of the network of personal support.
The residential accommodation consists of single study bedrooms on two sites equipped with appropriate aids, including call-systems. Communal facilities include lounge and utility areas, a range of bathing/showering and toilet facilities and a central recreational area. There are also four Independent Living Units, a designated Group Home Facility, a Transitional Living Unit and Supported Living Accommodation, giving clients opportunities to experience various levels of support in preparation for the future. Overnight accommodation is available to families/carers by arrangement.
