ABOUT LOCAL CARE HOME - WOODLANDS

At Woodlands we provide support for 11 individuals who have a brain injury.

We aim to support individuals to regain their social, cognitive and independence skills, and to develop their confidence. Individuals have the opportunity to progress from one of the rooms at the service to our independent flats as their skills improve. 

Speech and Language, Neuro-physiotherapy and Psychology input are available as required. Programmes are carefully designed and integrated into each service user’s daily routine. Support is based on rehabilitation techniques which strive to increase independence, and, where considered appropriate, progress is monitored closely using Goal Attainment Scaling.

Each person is encouraged to create their own activity programme, which can be tailored to their interests and makes full use of facilities available in the local community.

Woodlands is situated in a pleasant, residential area of Middlesborough, known as Acklam. There are a wide range of education and leisure facilities in the area, including colleges, shops, pubs, bowling centres, an ice skating rink and sports centres.

The building contains ten en-suite bedrooms and a self-contained flat with private lounge and cooking facilities. All bedrooms have the option of ceiling tracking if required, and the whole building is wheelchair accessible.

There are spacious shared areas, giving people the choice of socialising or spending time alone. A diverse programme of activities is offered, tailored to individual tastes. These include outdoor pursuits, music, art and life skills workshops.
