Devon House provides leading person-centred neurorehabilitation programmes for people with an acquired brain injury (ABI) and physical health problems in a safe, stimulating and homely environment.

Our approach

Devon House is suitable for males and females over the age of 18, and suits individuals that have reached the point in their care pathway where they need longer-term support and maintenance therapy. Our aim is to help them to improve their daily living skills and move on to more independent living.

We support individuals to develop their personal care skills and gain greater independence through increased social access and community living.

Focus on Safety

Our absolute priority is to make sure we operate safe and effective services 24/7 and that all staff understand what is required of them to make that happen. Click here to read more.
