A new £6.9m neuro-rehabilitation unit has opened its doors at the Mount Gould Local Care Centre in Plymouth following its redevelopment.
The Plym Neuro Rehabilitation Unit says it will provide a range of services for people recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries including inpatient, outpatient, community and primary healthcare services.
Funded by the Community Health Partnerships (CHP), the unit aims to offer bespoke rehabilitation packages, delivering annual appointments, and working to improve patient outcomes in the local community within a primary care setting.
“I’m delighted to see the new Plym Neuro Rehabilitation Unit officially open,” James Bawn, strategic business development director of Community Health Partnerships to CHP.
“The project is a testament to the power of collaborative working between both private and public sector partners, all sharing a joint vision, leading to improved healthcare delivery across the local community.
“CHP’s £6.9m capital investment will enable services to be delivered from a safe and modern environment, supporting many patients in the crucial stages of their recovery.”
Michelle Thomas, chief executive of Livewell Southwest, which will provide therapists at the unit, said: “This development has been the culmination of several years of partnership working to deliver a modernised facility, which will deliver better outcomes for those who stay with us.”
“On behalf of ReSound Health, I am really pleased to see the Plym Neuro Rehabilitation Unit officially open,” said Adrian Griffin from ReSound Health, the landlord of Mount Gould LCC.
“ReSound Health’s comprehensive and expert project management support has enabled the project finish three months ahead of schedule, meaning the service can occupy the space ahead of Christmas 2024.
“This was achieved within the fixed budget established in summer 2022. The project exemplifies the power of collaboration and innovation in the healthcare sector.”
