Our expert teams provide ongoing care for people with both complex neurological conditions and support people through rehabilitation and end of life care.
We work with each individual to ensure that care is tailored to their specific needs. Activities are specifically designed to reflect and encourage people’s interests and skills and we will do whatever we can to enable people to live a full and satisfying life, whether it’s an outing to the shops or someone to read to them, we do all we can to make it happen.
We provide specialist programmes of intensive therapy for people with acquired brain injuries, which last approximately 12 weeks.
Our teams of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, neuro-psychologists, consultants, nurses and social workers are a vital part of the personalised care that we provide.
They support people to maintain or build strength, relearn skills or find new ways of doing things depending on their own goals and ambitions.
We offer:
- physical rehabilitation – through exercise, balance, postural control, and fatigue and spasticity management
- rehabilitation for patients with cognitive and communication difficulties who need support to regain abilities
- re-enablement – using equipment and practical support to aid independence and develop or relearn skills
- Self-Management and support for family carers – planning for any longer term issues such as feeding, tracheostomy care and continence management
- support with home visits, discharge planning to return home or a selection of long-term placements.
Our supported living service enables people to live as independently as possible, in a home that has been specifically adapted to their requirements, with a team of professional carers on hand.
Each person holds their own tenancy and has full control over the type and level of care they receive from us, from 24/7 support to less intensive care.
As well as providing a comfortable place to live and socialise with the other residents, there is plenty of entertaining space for when friends and family come to visit.

The Parkinson's helpline is run by Sue Ryder Neurological Care Centre The Chantry and delivered in partnership with the Ipswich and East And West Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group to support people who are living with Parkinson’s, their carers and healthcare professionals across Suffolk.
Operators will be at the end of the phone to listen, answer questions and provide information tailored to your needs. If appropriate, they will also be able to signpost you to other local services and sources of help, such as support groups, or refer you to an organisation that can help.
We support each person as an individual and aim to enable and empower people to make their own choices and feel in control of their lives.
