Acquired Brain Injuries
Our Acquired Brain injury (ABI) services are dedicated to providing support for people with complex needs following a brain injury. We understand that no two people and no two brain injuries are the same. We offer a variety of supportive pathways, personalised to suit each person’s specific needs. We are focussed on the strengths, interests and dreams of everyone we support.

- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Stroke/ aneurysms
- Alcohol related brain injuries including Korsakoff’s syndrome
- Brain Injuries as a result of hypoxia, encephalitis, meningitis and tumour
- Physical and mobility needs

- Cognitive and executive functioning difficulties (memory, attention skills, information processing and social interaction)

Our services also offer neuro-disability, to support people with conditions such as early onset dementia and Huntington’s.
Our services are able to offer:
- Transitional (short, medium or long term) rehabilitation goal focused placements

We also offer personalised programs of activities, established to enable people to relearn previous skills and gain new skills where possible.
