Elizabeth House & Roberta House, Upstreet
Residential care and re-ablement for adults with Korsakoff's Syndrome, acquired brain injury and other related conditions.
Roberta House and Elizabeth House provide care and re-ablement/rehabilitation services in a residential setting in Upstreet, near Canterbury in Kent. We are registered with CQC for the provision of residential care for adults aged 18 - 65 (on admission) suffering with Korsakoff's syndrome and/or related organic mental health difficulties. We are specialists in the provision of care for individuals suffering from Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome (Korsakov's) and acquired brain injury. Mostly, but not exclusively, our clients' difficulties have arisen from long term alcohol abuse with associated traumatic/non-traumatic brain injury.
We now offer 32 rehabilitation, re-ablement and residential care places for Korsakov's sufferers.
We are delighted to announce that, following our award of the maximum 3 Stars in the old CQC report system, our unannounced inspection in November 2011 found us to be fully compliant in both houses, with no recommendations for improvement. Please see our latest report on the CQC website for Elizabeth House and Roberta House.
We provide short and long term rehabilitation and residential care services for 16 clients at Elizabeth House, with 16 additional places at Roberta House. Our Pathways Units (part of Roberta House) are a step-down facility, offering a chance for 3 clients to practice their daily living skills in a 'normal' household setting before moving back into the wider community.
Services and care at Roberta House & Elizabeth House are both holistic and tailored to meet each client's specific needs. Our philosophy is that all our clients have the potential to progress, no matter what their condition and background.
Our goal is to promote independence and self-esteem in our clients within the framework of a pluralist and holistic approach to care and therapy. Each client's care programme focuses on living skills (both personal and household), social skills development, active therapy and vocational training and support. We strongly encourage links with the wider community and assist our clients to build and maintain family links which they have often lost.
Please follow the links on the left hand side for more information about us, our clients, and how we may be able to help you or your relative.
We look forward to hearing from you.
