About Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust - Cook Close (Dover Court)
We are a residential home in Harwich, Essex, part of a trust whose work is the rehabilitation of people living with brain injury. We support younger adults and older people, including people with physical disabilities, and we also offer respite stays. Brain injury affects people in ways that are rarely obvious from the outside. Memory, planning, fatigue, temper, the ability to start something or to stop. Two people with similar injuries can need entirely different support, which is why we plan around the individual and why we keep reviewing as things develop. Recovery after brain injury is slow and uneven, and progress often shows up in small practical gains rather than dramatic ones. Our aim is for people to do as much for themselves as they can manage, even where that is slower and messier than doing it for them. Independence that has been lost is worth working towards patiently, and getting there means staff who know somebody well enough to tell the difference between a person who cannot and a person who needs more time. We work closely with families, who usually understand better than anyone what has changed and what the person was like before, and with the professionals involved in someone's rehabilitation. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are a family member or a professional considering a placement here, please get in touch and we will talk honestly about whether we would be the right setting.
