If are ready to be discharged from hospital but require some intensive rehabilitation therapy that cannot be provided in your own home, The Beacon provides a residential option as part of our ‘from hospital to home’ service.

The Beacon provides 24 / 7 rehabilitation and re-enablement for people who require a short period of support and are unable to be at home.

What is our aim?

Our aim is to get you back to where you want to be following a period of illness or crisis.

We want to help you maintain your independence and stay in the community wherever possible and avoid extended hospital stays or unnecessary care placements.

What care and support is provided?

The Beacon is not a care home or nursing home. It is a residential unit specifically designed to provide short-term support for those who would benefit from intensive rehabilitation and re-enablement services.

The centre is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team who design and implement personalised plans of care and then liaise with your own GP, District Nurse, the hospital, Adult Social Care and your family to ensure there is a seamless service from hospital and ultimately back into your own home.

Part of our team are experience support workers, trained in techniques to encourage and help you to regain your skills and mobility that will allow you to regain as independent life as possible.

We work with you to set your rehabilitation goals and then put in place a plan and support to help you achieve these goals.

The Beacon helps people in many different situations including:

• Help so you can remain living in the community and avoid unnecessary or a long term care placement.
• Support you to enable your recover from a period of illness or exacerbation of a long-term condition.
• To provide a re-enablement service which helps you to regain your ability to self-care following illness in order to keep you as independent as possible for a long as possible.
• Working with you to regain or maintain levels of independence through intensive rehabilitation and therapy programmes.
• We facilitate discharge from hospital for people requiring rehabilitation but who are not yet able to return home.
