community services

The Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) also offers community services for people who are at the final stage in the process of rehabilitation following acquired brain injury.

BIRT supported housing offers people the chance to live in the community but with all the support they need 24 hours a day. Locations of supported housing.

Home support is also widely available across the country to support people living in their own homes. We can set up home support virtually anywhere in response to need.

The goal of community services is to make sure that progress made during residential rehabilitation is continued once someone is back at home.

Before someone is offered either supported housing or home support, BIRT will make an assessment visit. We also liaise closely with social services and other relevant agencies to make sure the service offered meets a service user’s individual needs.

Further information about our community services is also available in our annual report 2008 (pdf 3.2MB).
