Myland House has five ensuite bedrooms where we provide innovative rehabilitation and ongoing specialist long-term support for people with complex, challenging behaviour and nursing needs. Brainkind staff aim to help people live as independently as they can after a brain injury.
Specialism: long & short term residential care, acquired brain injury rehabilitation
Myland House offers accommodation for five people in spacious bedrooms, all with ensuite shower rooms. The service is situated in the heart of the community and is only twenty minutes from award-winning beaches and popular points of interest such as Colchester Castle and the beautiful castle park.
The people we support enjoy access to a wide range of activities, including arts & crafts, gardening and visiting various points of interest in the local community and regular trips to the theatre. There is also a brilliantly large wildlife garden for people to enjoy.
Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neuro-behavioural approach and focuses on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose.

As Myland House is located in a popular part of the city, within walking distance to a good selection of shops, the town centre, restaurants, and the main railway station, the service is ideally situated for community integration. These locations also offer opportunities for education, training, and work placements.
