About our community stroke rehabilitation service in Enfield

We provide care to people who have recently suffered a stroke and are being discharged from inpatient care.

We consist of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and rehabilitation assistants, and work closely with colleagues from the voluntary sector to provide support for life skills, stroke navigation and social integration.

What we offer

  • Enable medically stable patients to be discharged early from the Hyper Acute Stroke Units (HASU)
  • Provide community stroke rehabilitation in or close to home
  • Support stroke patients to achieve a good quality of life, maximise independence, well- being and reduce mortality and long-term disability.

This service is delivered from a number of locations including patients’ homes, workplaces, clinics and community venues such as nursing homes and residential care.
