About Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre and Neurodisability Service

For both units at Blackhealth BIRC we generally admit patients direct from the acute hospitals as soon as they are medically stable and able to participate or tolerate their rehab programme. We actively look for a discharge placement close to their home so that when they are ready for discharge they can be closer to their friends and families. The average length of stay is 120 days, as we strive to return the clients back to their local community as soon as they are ready.

Blackheath Brain Injury and Rehabilitation Centre is situated in a purpose built facility. All patients/clients have single rooms, and we encourage the patient/client and their visitors to individualise the room to feel like home. Each unit has a garden area, TV lounge and Dinning room. The centre is situated close to Blackheath and Greenwich with its parks, churches, shops, cafes, coffee shops, cinema, gyms etc and we are able to incorporate these facilities and activities into the rehabilitation programme for patient/clients and at the weekends
