Calvert Reconnections delivers a groundbreaking, clinically-led approach to ABI rehabilitation, combining cognitive and physical rehab with vocational and outdoor activities. Their highly skilled clinical team has over 100 years’ combined experience and includes Neuro Occupational Therapists, Neuro Physiotherapists, Neuro Speech and Language Therapists, Neuro Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners and Rehabilitation Coaches.

All the skills developed through their engaging programmes transition through into an integrated rehabilitation plan for daily living skills, greater life skills and, when appropriate, independent living trials.

Earlier this year, they published their annual outcomes review.  Highlights included:

80% of participants who identified independent living as a goal went on to achieve it.

The majority of participants (65%) progressed on to paid employment, vocational training, volunteering or community activity.

100% of participants who completed the Individual Recovery Outcomes Counter (IROC) at admission and discharge, reported a maintained or improved hope for the future.  The IROC is a way to measure recovery.

70% of participants who completed the IROC at admission and discharge reported an improved sense of purpose and direction in their life.

In its latest report, the CQC report praised Calvert Reconnections for being “consistently managed and well-led”.   It said the centre promotes “high-quality, person-centred care” and is “open, inclusive and empowering”.  It further added that people are “supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives” in order to “gain independence”.

As a clinically-led, ABI rehab unit for adults (17 years+), they generate referrals from a wide range of sources – solicitors, case managers, insurers and health professionals in the private sector and NHS commissioners and clinical leads in the public sector.  They also take self-referrals and referrals from families.

Their residential centre has 9 bedrooms and 2 independent living flats.
