assessment
Detailed assessments are carried out by
our expert multi-disciplinary team, supervised by a clinical
neuropsychologist.
Assessments can take place either in the
community or at one of our specialist centres, and include
detailed contributions from physiotherapists, occupational
therapists, speech and language therapist and a vocational
assessment.
We also offer a comprehensive service to personal
injury lawyers who need the evidence of assessment to assist
with litigation.

rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programmes are based
on a neurobehavioral
model. By working with each service user, our skilled staff
help people to relearn old skills which have been lost as
a result of a brain injury, or acquire new skills to help
minimise the impact of the injury.
Every rehabilitation programme is carefully
tailored to maximise each service user’s potential for independence.
The length of placements varies, but last, on average, 18
months. This is often followed by a support package in the
community.

continuing rehabilitation
The Paddock is a separate house close to the The Woodmill which provides continuing rehabilitation services for four people with acquired brain injury.
Its proximity to The Woodmill means that service users will be able to live in a community setting with 24 hour support, and the expertise and support of The Woodmill's clinical team when it's required.

transitional living units
The following transitional living units (houses in the community) are part of the overall service offered by The Woodmill.
Spindlebury, Cullompton
The Watermeadow, Cullompton
Transitional living units enable us to offer a seamless service for those service users aiming to make the transition to independent living in the community. They offer the opportunity for increased independence, though still with 24 hour staff support. Service users focus on effective life skills and making use of community facilities.
A placement in a transitional living unit would not normally last longer than 3-6 months. During that time, service users continue to receive clinical support, building on the skills they have developed during rehabilitation, but in a more home-like environment.
Service users form personal routines and structures to take with them when they move to a more independent setting. These familiar routines and structures help to reduce the anxiety and smooth the transition to more independent living later on.
Many of our service users have vocational placements with local
companies and attend college placements to increase both learning
and social integration.
