About Brainkind Kerwin Court

Brainkind Kerwin Court is a specialist neurological centre where people with acquired brain injuries or complex neurological conditions come for an initial assessment before beginning their rehabilitation. This can be extended to provide further support, as required.

Brainkind Kerwin Court, rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert treatment and care. Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neurobehavioural approach. This is the idea that rehabilitation is community based and delivered 24/7 through Rehabilitation Support Workers.

Kerwin Court has a multidisciplinary team including clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists. We focus on enabling people to function more independently and live their lives as they choose. Our personalised structured programmes include educational and therapeutic sessions; group therapy sessions; support for personal, social, and domestic skills; guided leisure time; vocational support and training; and access to the local community.

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 and supported wherever possible.

Whether someone needs assistance with daily tasks, help to improve emotional wellbeing 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 each person we support.
