Your First Attendance
You will be assessed by a doctor, nurse and therapists. During your assessment you will be asked questions about your day-to-day activities and general health. It would be a help, if you could bring with you your medication list and any medication you may need during your stay. After your assessment you may be asked to follow a home programme of exercises. We may ask you to attend the Unit for a course of treatment depending on your individual needs. It may be necessary for you to have tests or to see other members of the multidisciplinary team during your stay, to further monitor your health needs, e.g. Clinical Psychologist, Dietician etc.
Whilst on the Unit
We will provide beverages. There are suitable toilet facilities for the disabled. Wheelchairs and walking aids are available for use.
