Brainkind Stagenhoe Park is a specialist neurological care centre close to Hitchin, Hertfordshire. We provide innovative slow stream rehabilitation and long-term care that is person-centred to enable people with acquired brain injuries and complex neurological conditions to live as independently as possible in an environment that enhances their wellbeing
Specialism: Acquired brain injury and a range of other neurological conditions such as Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.
Brainkind Stagenhoe Park provides compassionate, person-centred care for people with acquired brain injuries, complex neurological conditions such as Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease (MND), or multiple sclerosis (MS), and conditions resulting from strokes or spinal injuries.
At Brainkind Stagenhoe Park, we provide person-centred support tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Our approach is based on the neuro-behavioural model, with a strong emphasis on promoting independence, building confidence, and enhancing quality of life. Located within scenic parkland in rural Hertfordshire, the service offers a calm and therapeutic environment where individuals are supported to take part in meaningful daily activities, develop personal and social skills, and engage in structured leisure-based sessions. Where appropriate, we also explore opportunities for community engagement.
Brainkind Stagenhoe Park, rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert care. The people we support have access to arts & crafts, life skills classes, and music sessions to improve quality of life and support their rehabilitation and promote their independence.
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. We also promote the active involvement of families as an important part of the rehabilitation process, and home leave is encouraged wherever possible
Our model is based on a neurorehabilitation approach and focuses on enabling people to function more independently and develop their lives as they choose. The multidisciplinary team has specialist assessment and therapy rooms to aid individuals in recovery.
Our person-centred programme may include:
The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress against agreed outcomes, and we promote the involvement of families in the rehabilitation process. Home leave is encouraged wherever possible.
