About Daniel Yorath House

Brainkind Daniel Yorath House is a neurological centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire providing
innovative neuro rehabilitation and person-centred support to enable people to thrive after
a brain injury. Our aim is for the people we support to live as independently as possible in an
environment that enhances their wellbeing.

Brainkind Daniel Yorath House is a specialist neurological centre where people with acquired
brain injuries or complex neurological conditions come for an initial 12-week period to begin their
rehabilitation. This can be extended to provide for further support, as required.

Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neuro-behavioural approach. This is led by our experienced multidisciplinary team, consisting of clinical neuropsychology, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation support workers.

We focus on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they
choose. Our programmes include clinical, educational, and therapeutic sessions; support for
personal, social, and domestic skills; guided leisure time; vocational support and training; behavioural
management; and access to the local community.

Brainkind Daniel Yorath House, rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert care. Our multi-disciplinary team has specialist
assessment and therapy rooms, a physio gym, and a large private garden to aid the people
we support in their rehabilitation and recovery. The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress. We promote the engagement and participation of families in the rehabilitation process, and home leave is encouraged wherever possible.

Whether someone needs assistance with daily tasks, therapy to improve emotional or social skills, or physiotherapy and support to regain their physical independence, our services ensure that life after a brain injury is a life well lived – whatever that means to the people we support.
