Two wings for personalised care: Short stays and long-term rehabilitation

Askham Court is uniquely structured to cater to a wide range of rehabilitation needs through its two specialised wings. The short-stay wing offers intensive neuro-rehabilitation for those recovering from recent injuries or surgeries, focusing on regaining independence and preparing for a return home. Meanwhile, the long-term care wing provides exceptional support for residents with chronic neurological conditions, neuro-palliative care, and prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC). Our approach is designed to provide a seamless transition from short-term rehabilitation to long-term support, ensuring continuity of care and comfort.
