Life-changing brain injury rehabilitation services for adults following acquired brain injury and traumatic brain injury in the Midlands.
When an individual is medically stable, many people require brain injury rehabilitation in centre such as Inspire Neurocare's Worcester services. This form of rehabilitation in a community-based, home-from-home environment allows people with complex needs to recover, re-learn the skills of independent living and increase their independence.
At Inspire's brain injury rehabilitation in Worcester, individuals benefit from high quality care in our purpose-built, modern environment, created with the slow process of rehabilitation in mind.
Every brain injury is different, and people have differing requirements for neurorehabilitation and different goals. Inspire Neurocare's brain injury rehabilitation centre takes an interdisciplinary approach to ensure that rehabilitation is developed around the individual, giving them the best opportunity to reach their goals and return home.

At Inspire Neurocare, we provide inpatient rehabilitation in our community based services. Our rehabilitation assistants - Life Skills Facilitators - work closely with the interdisciplinary therapy team and specialist nurses to provide treatment and support for traumatic and acquired brain injury including physical or occupational therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, cognitive therapy, psychological support, treatment for mental health conditions, and medication management.
These services, delivered within a home from home setting are tailored to the specific needs of each person, with the goal of helping them regain as much independence as possible and improve quality of life. You can learn more about our rehabilitation and care pathways here.
Our nursing teams deliver expert, compassionate and rehabilitation services for individuals with a brain injury. These skilled professionals focus on assessing and managing the complex needs of each patient, coordinating care and supporting both the individual and their families throughout the brain injury rehabilitation journey.
Our nurses are trained to manage potential complications and to ensure people are in good physical and emotional health.
Every Inspire Neurocare service is led by a Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine specialising in brain injury. Our rehabilitation medicine consultants have in-depth knowledge and experience in neurorehabilitation.
They are instrumental in coordinating the rehabilitation team and overseeing each individual's care plan. Their expertise ensures that every patient receives the most effective, evidence-based treatments and interventions designed to maximise their rehabilitation potential.
Our physiotherapy teams work with individuals with brain injury to increase their mobility and muscle strength, improve their balance, reduce the risk of falls and reduce the impact of muscle spasms with stretching exercises.
While a brain injury causes damage to the central nervous system, many people who have had a brain injury also experience other injuries including muscular-skeletal damage, which requires specific exercises. Posture is crucial for good recovery, and so this forms part of many neurorehabilitation approaches following a brain injury.
Occupational therapists aim to increase people's independence in areas of everyday living, ensuring people can function in their environment with adaptations where required. Our community based services are the perfect environment to regain lost skills before being discharged home.
Independent living skills training might include working with people to carry out activities of daily living, such as making a cup of tea, managing a budget, preparing a meal, activities in a community setting, managing personal care, and relearning the skills for community living.
Speech and Language Therapists provide expert support to individuals who face communication and swallowing difficulties following a brain injury. They use a range of techniques and strategies tailored to the individual's unique needs and abilities.
Communication post-brain injury may be impaired, affecting speech, language, and cognitive-communication. Our speech and language therapists work on these areas, enabling the person to regain and improve their communication skills. This may involve the use of communication aids and adaptive equipment.
Swallowing difficulties, also known as dysphagia, are another common challenge post-brain injury, so we provide comprehensive assessments and personalised interventions to ensure safe eating and drinking.
Psychology for Brain Injury Rehabilitation
At Inspire Neurocare, our neuropsychologists provide key psychological support for mental health conditions in the context of brain injury rehabilitation. They aid in managing emotional and behavioural changes, including anxiety, depression, and disturbances often resulting from brain injuries.
Using therapeutic interventions, specialist neurobehavioural assessment, coping strategies, self-care techniques and cognitive rehabilitation therapy, they help improve individuals' psychological well-being, quality of life and resilience.

Individuals who've experienced significant brain injuries, such as strokes or trauma, and who require intensive rehabilitation to regain or relearn abilities typically need inpatient care.
Rehabilitation outcomes depend on individual goals, injury severity, and overall health. Outcomes may include improved physical abilities, cognitive functions, speech and swallowing and emotional well-being.
At Inspire Neurocare, outcomes are measured against these goals on an ongoing basis.
The referral process usually begins with a referral from a doctor or funding body, usually while the individual is in hospital.
The Inspire team visit to assess the individual, creating a report detailing the rehabilitation pathway and care we can provide.
From this point, the referrer and family will review the assessment report, and if it is decided that Inspire Neurocare is the right place, the team will work with all those concerned to begin the admission process.
