Brainkind West Heath House is an innovative brain injury rehabilitation centre in Birmingham providing specialist neurobehavioural support for people with acquired brain injuries or complex neurological conditions. We make sure that the people we support can live as independently as possible in an environment that enhances their wellbeing.
Brainkind West Heath 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 rehabilitation, as required.
Our specialist rehabilitation is based on a neurobehavioural approach, with a multidisciplinary clinical team on-site including physiotherapists, a consultant psychologist, and head of care.
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; and access to the local community.
Brainkind West Heath House, rated ‘Good’ by the CQC, is equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of our expert care. Our multidisciplinary team has access to specialist skills-rehabilitation kitchens, a physiotherapy room, a games room, and therapeutic gardens 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 involvement of families as part of 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.
In addition to our main residential accommodation, we have four flats which are used to assess the independence of the people we support.
Access to the wider community forms an integral part of the rehabilitation journey. West Heath House is close to local shops, coffee shops, and train stations, making it ideal for communal integration. Our service also has access to culture, green spaces, and places of worship.
We provide support for and specialise in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injuries or complex neurological conditions who are experiencing one or more of the following:
This is not an exhaustive list. We welcome all enquiries and consider each on a case-by-case basis.
