The Home

Rowland House is a modern purpose built Neuro-Rehab Centre catering for seven adults with acquired brain injuries. It is registered for young adults from 20 to 55 years. Rowland House represents Stage Two of the Titleworth Healthcare Managed Pathway stream.

Location

Weston Green is a lovely area of Thames Ditton, with Hampton Court only ten minutes away by foot and the major shopping area of Kingston just 20 minutes. Local shops are a short walk away as are a choice of up to 5 local pubs! Thames Ditton railway station is approximately ten minutes walk and is fully accessible by wheelchair.

Accommodation

The home is purpose built to exceptionally high standards accommodating wheelchairs throughout. All corridors and doorways are sized accordingly and kitchen surfaces and appliances are all at wheelchair level. All bedrooms have ceiling tracked hoists. All floors are easily accessible via the wheelchair-sized lift. Another beautiful feature is our meticulously manicured gardens, set on two levels with patios, ponds and freely flowing fountains. There are raised flowerbeds, ancient trees with all areas being accessible by wheelchair users for their enjoyment.

Life Style / Social Activities

In addition to intensive rehabilitation programs with our therapy teams, we aim to provide a lifestyle that satisfies the social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs of our residents allowing them to exercise choice and control at all levels. We aim to help residents continue to enjoy a wide range of individual and group activities and interests both inside and outside of the home. We constantly use the local community making use of a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. We also have links with various day centres where additional interests and educational pursuits can be enjoyed.

The company has access to a multi disciplinary neuro-therapy team who devise therapeutic programmes to suit all needs. This is particularly useful when utilising our in-house hydrotherapy area. We have also established links to the local community health teams so that individual needs are suited at all times.

Visiting

Our aim is to make the home as welcoming as possible with visits from friends and relatives always encouraged. There are no set visiting time, although where possible meal times need to be avoided in order to respect the privacy and dignity of residents who generally need assistance when eating. We expect all visitors to have left the home by 10.30pm but these times are of course flexible upon request and as needs arise.

Meals

Food and drink plays an important part in the social life of Rowland House. To this end we provide a welcoming, unhurried environment at meal times. Choice is paramount, with snacks and drinks always available. Special diets are always catered for and a monthly menu is provided offering an exceptional choice of quality meals.
