Regard offers care and support for adults with a traumatic or non-traumatic Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and varying degrees of cognitive, physical, behavioural and emotional difficulties.

 

We provide a stepping stone for individuals to move towards a more independent life following post-acute rehabilitation where possible and desired by the individual.

 

Our aim is to support individuals to achieve their goals, participate in meaningful activities and become more self sufficient, building on their skills. We can continue with previously established rehabilitation goals and strategies or, where required adjust or develop new ones.

 

We have a demonstrable track record of supporting people to achieve greater independence and substantially reduce the support they require.
