Victoria House
Specialist Neurological & Brain Injury Rehabilitation | Farnborough, Hampshire
About this location
Victoria House is a specialist neurological rehabilitation service in Farnborough, Hampshire, supporting adults with acquired brain injury and a range of neurological conditions. Individuals can be admitted directly from acute hospital settings for intensive rehabilitation, as well as at later stages of their rehabilitation journey.
Our flexible rehabilitation pathway enables the intensity and focus of rehabilitation to adapt as an individual's needs change, supporting progression from active rehabilitation through increasing independence and, where appropriate, successful transition back into the community.
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.
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.

Our approach to rehabilitation
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.
Rehabilitation intensity can be tailored to the individual's clinical needs and stage of recovery, including intensive rehabilitation following transfer from an acute setting.
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
Our rehabilitation team works collaboratively to deliver goal-focused programmes tailored to each individual’s needs. In-house physiotherapy and psychology are supported by full-time rehabilitation assistants, enabling 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.
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.
Activities
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.
