JOHN CABOT HOUSE, BRISTOL
John Cabot House is a specialised service for people with a brain injury, designed
with an emphasis on continued rehabilitation. We believe that people can still
develop skills, confidence and participation even several years after injury.
It is designed as a “step up or step down” service for individuals who may require
more intensive support following a deterioration in their mental health or
behaviours. It may also be of interest to those who are ready to move from hospital
into the community but need a period of intense structure and support to improve
their confidence and independence skills.
Our rehabilitation programmes are designed around the specific needs of each
individual. For some people the stay will be relatively short, lasting only a few
months; others can be assured that whilst continued progress is important, longer
stays are possible.
John Cabot House is in the residential area of Brislington, 2.3 miles from Bristol
Temple Meads railway station and close to regular local bus routes. It’s close to all
the usual amenities and services you’d expect in a large thriving city.
The house is a newly refurbished Grade II listed
building with the generous proportions expected
of a building of that period, but an internal
specification which reflects modern day style and
levels of comfort.
It offers six bedrooms all with en suite shower
room and W.C. There are three spacious and wellfurnished communal living areas, an additional
training kitchen and a conservatory looking out
over private mature walled gardens.
The service also benefits from the addition of two
self-contained ground floor apartments. These
apartments offer the opportunity for individuals to
have greater independence, with the reassurance
of the 24 hour support in the adjacent service.
These apartments also offer flexibility for those
with moderate to high support needs who wish to
live alone or find it difficult to live within a group
setting.
We are committed to only using very experienced
neuro-rehabilitation specialists to support the
needs of people with acquired brain injury and
neurological rehabilitation needs. We work with
Neuro-Psychologists,
Neuro-Occupational
Therapists, Neuro-Physiotherapists and Speech
and Language Therapists.
We use Goal Attainment Scaling to support each
person to focus on daily functional goals and we
monitor broader attainments on general outcome
measures such as St Andrew’s Swansea Neurobehavioural Outcome Scale (SASNOS).
