We are based at Dene Barton Hospital in Cotford St Luke, a small village on the outskirts of Taunton. Patients can enjoy a quiet and calm rehabilitation environment in a rural setting, with a local shop and amenities close by.
We have 10 beds and patients will have individual room with a sink and have access to large day room, physiotherapy gym, therapy kitchen and patio garden.
There is a hydrotherapy pool on the hospital site which patients from SNRC can access when appropriate as part of their physiotherapy plan.
You will be allocated a Key Worker who will serve as a link between you and your family and our specialist multi-disciplinary team. They will help you and your family set goals and keep everyone up-to-date with your progress and discharge plans.
We will talk with you soon after admission about your expected discharge date. We will also arrange Team Around the Person (TAP) meetings, as needed. These meetings are a chance to share updates about your rehabilitation and discharge plans with you and the people who are important to you. You can decide who you would like to attend your TAP meeting. Most people admitted to SNRC return home when they leave; if this is not possible, we will support you to find a suitable alternative.
Our specialist multidisciplinary team meets every week to discuss each patient’s progress. The medical team carry out regular ward rounds.
You will be provided with a therapy timetable each week, which shows the time and duration of therapy sessions. These sessions could be with a qualified therapist, a rehabilitation assistant or as part of a group.
