About Fen House

Brainkind Fen House is a specialist neurological centre where people with acquired brain injuries or complex neurological conditions come for an initial 12-week assessment 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. We focus on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose. Our programmes include 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 Fen 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 access to specialist therapy rooms, a skills rehabilitation kitchen, and a large, landscaped 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 active involvement of families in the rehabilitation process, and home leave is encouraged wherever possible.

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 after a brain injury is a life well lived – whatever that means to the people we support.

  • Two specially equipped skills rehabilitation kitchens where the people we support can regain daily living skills in a supported and safe learning environment.
