Neurological & Rehabilitation
Our neurological care is provided at our specialist care centre in Edinburgh. At Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre, we offer support for adults with complex physical disabilities or health needs resulting from a range of neurological conditions. Our services include short or long-term rehabilitation options, respite breaks, or long-term home environments.
Each individual is supported by a key worker to help review their therapeutic goals, independence skills and ‘whole life’ aspirations. Through our services and supportive environments we empower people to reach their potential and be involved in their community.
Supportive living environments
Gilmerton NDC is designed to promote independence and enable people to live full lives through:
- Rehabilitation rooms equipped for physiotherapy and occupational therapies.
- Robust surroundings suitable for people who use wheelchairs with accessible outdoor gardens and patios.
- Dedicated dining, living and activity areas with variable height seating to prevent pressure ulcers.
- Stairs with grab hand rails, electric profiling beds with adjustable heights and at least one room with a Jacuzzi bath.
Specialist teams
All of the colleagues in our homes with neurological care and rehabilitation services have completed specialist training, including understanding neurological conditions and the promotion of independence.
Our teams also have access to in-reach nurses who will provide best practice guidance and advice for specific neurological conditions and neuro psychiatry, offering additional support.
We also work closely with local health and social care community teams to arrange assessments and plan for appropriate and timely hospital discharges. Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Pharmacology services are regularly available through our proactive partnership working with NHS Trust and Independent, third sector, providers.
