Victoria House

Victoria House is a spacious residential service spread across ground and first floors, with lift access throughout. The service offers 13 single-occupancy en-suite bedrooms, 4 studio flats, and 5 self-contained apartments, providing a range of options to suit individual needs and levels of independence.

We provide a secure and homely setting which is ideal in supporting individuals to become as independent as possible and is close enough to the local community to offer educational, vocational and employment opportunities.

In summary, we offer:

• Rehabilitation gym
• Practice/ADL kitchen
• Studio and self-contained apartment accommodation
• Activities facilities
• Accessible garden
• Community-based rehabilitation opportunities

Everybody who lives at Victoria House has their own person-centred rehabilitation plan, which is co-produced with input from the individual, their family and the professionals involved in their care.

Our aim is to help each person make choices about the support they receive and to encourage them to become as independent as possible. This may include support with social participation, daily living skills, communication, functional mobility, physical rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation, discharge planning and accessing education, vocational opportunities or community access.

We offer a range of support in-house, including:

• Physiotherapy

• Psychology

• Full-time rehabilitation assistants

We also work closely with external community services to provide access to additional professionals, such as:

• Speech and language therapy

• Occupational therapy

This integrated approach means that rehabilitation is not limited to formal therapy sessions. Rehabilitation goals and strategies can be incorporated into everyday activities, functional tasks and community participation, helping individuals to practise and consolidate skills throughout their rehabilitation journey.

Placement length and rehabilitation intensity are individually determined according to clinical need and rehabilitation goals. Victoria House can support individuals requiring intensive rehabilitation following acute care, ongoing neurological rehabilitation, longer-term rehabilitation or a graded pathway towards greater independence and community living.

Everyone who lives at Victoria House has their own personalised activity plan and is encouraged to take part in activities that are meaningful and fulfilling to them. Meaningful activity and community participation can form part of rehabilitation goals. Our dedicated team organises a variety of activities within the service, as well as opportunities to access the local community.

A key feature of Victoria House is our graded accommodation pathway. Individuals can progress from en-suite bedrooms to studio accommodation and self-contained apartments as their independence develops. This enables people to practise and consolidate everyday living skills, within a supported rehabilitation environment before progressing towards community living.

Acute hospital

• Intensive neurological rehabilitation

• Ongoing rehabilitation

• Graded independence

• Studio/self-contained apartment

• Community reintegration

Not everyone will require every stage of the pathway. Rehabilitation programmes are individually designed, with the aim of maximising independence and supporting the most appropriate onward destination.

Our rehabilitation team works collaboratively to deliver goal-focused programmes which enables rehabilitation strategies to be embedded into everyday activities beyond formal therapy sessions.

Occupational therapy and speech and language therapy are accessed through community services according to individual clinical need.
