Our Approach

This innovative centre will use the latest therapies developed in the UK based on a neurobehavioural program of therapy and support. The approach combines the best scientific methods of training and changing behaviour with an understanding of the exact nature of brain injury and a philosophy of community based rehabilitation.

With encouragement, motivation and neuro-behavioural training by a team of therapists, each person attending the centre is given as much support as they need in a “real life” setting to achieve success. By gradually reducing that support at the right time, they will learn to put their new skills into practice until independence is achieved. Research shows that the better the rehabilitation in the early stages, the less support people will need for the rest of their life.

What makes ReNew different?

  1. Rehabilitation is based on real life using a community integration model, not a replica or hospital setting.
  2. All staff are trained to apply the same therapy giving a coordinated intensive neuro-behavioural therapy approach
  3. We focus on functional goals to give people the practical skills they need for independence
  4. Each person’s progress is measured and evaluated individually, as accurate evidence of improvement

The 20 self-contained units at the ReNew Centre will provide comfortable living arrangements, with both communal and quiet living spaces that are suitable for visits from family members, set in pleasant gardens next to a park in a quiet residential area.

Renew Neurobehavioural Services will offer:

  • 20 individual rooms with ensuites, set in a residential area, close to local amenities and parkland with good transport
  • a number of living areas, quiet rooms, three fully-furnished kitchens, three specialised bathrooms, a courtyard and garden settings
  • a rehabilitation program of 6-9 months per individual
  • specialised staff trained in the service model, including psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists and physiotherapists.
