About Brainkind Neurological Centre – Lancashire

Brainkind Neurological Care Centre Lancashire is a purpose-built residential rehabilitation hub.

Opened in April 2020, it provides long-term care and neurological rehabilitation in a compassionate, person-centred way to support people in a safe and comfortable environment.

Whether someone needs assistance with daily tasks, help to improve emotional or social skills, or support to regain their physical independence, our services ensure that life with a neurological condition is a life well lived – whatever that means to the people we support. We also promote the active involvement of families as an important part of the rehabilitation process, from admission through to discharge.

Our centre is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert care. These facilities include 40 fully accessible en-suite rooms and four one-bedroom fully accessible bungalows – all with ceiling track hoists. We also have an onsite hydrotherapy pool, a gym, a rehabilitation kitchen, an activities room, sensory gardens, and a front-of-house café to improve quality of life for the people we support.
