QEF’s Care and Rehabilitation Centre is a Level 2B Community Neuro Rehabilitation Centre, providing specialist neuro rehabilitation and complex neurological care for up to 48 resident clients.
Our expert teams support people to regain core skills following an acquired brain injury, stroke or incomplete spinal injury. We also support people with long term neurological conditions to optimise their potential, manage a disability and prevent secondary complications.
Referrals are through the NHS, personal injury solicitors or case managers, ands we support adults with physical, cognitive and/or communication disabilities which may also include mild to moderate behavioural problems.
We work closely with families and everyone involved with an individual’s long-term rehabilitation, helping them with the transition out of our service. Our services are also available on a day and outpatient basis.
QEF’s Care and Rehabilitation Centre provides 4 distinct client pathways:
A client’s experience of our service will vary slightly depending on which pathway they are on. Length of stay is determined by the funding authority and agreed multi-disciplinary outcome goals:
– Client journey for Neuro Rehabilitation
– Client journey for General Rehabilitation
– Client journey for Complex Neurological Care
We assess each person’s requirements prior to admission and put together client-centred care and rehabilitation plans.
We accept clients with agreed funding who meet the following criteria:
– Males and females with Acquired Brain Injury, neurological illness, stroke or incomplete spinal injury

– Medically stable
– Have the potential to benefit from and the ability to participate in rehabilitation programmes

We work with NHS acute and primary care trusts across the South of England. Working with the Early Supported Discharge, Community and Reablement teams as required, we then facilitate a client’s discharge home or to another suitable destination to continue their rehabilitation.
“East Surrey Place has been working in collaboration with QEF for a number of years in supporting our local residents in their rehabilitation and recovery journey following a stroke. Over the years, our partnership is built on mutual desire to support continuity of rehabilitation from East Surrey hospital and ongoing care by our Early Support Discharge team in the Community. This partnership has been further strengthened by QEF offering us some extra rehabilitation beds for patients leaving hospital.”
Aktar Deelawar, Head of IUC & System Resilience Manager, NHS Surrey Heartlands
