New neuropsychiatric residential service opening in October 2022

River View

River View, our new enhanced community residential service for men with neuropsychiatric or neurodegenerative conditions is due to open in Darlington in October 2022 and is now accepting referrals.

River View acts as a transitional service from inpatient Neuropsychiatric rehabilitation for those individuals who may have behaviours that challenge alongside additional social and complex needs and have been able to progress through the hospital pathway but now require the ability to return to the community.

Service users can access River View from an existing Neurorehabilitation setting or the community directly. River View also provides a pathway from our existing Neuropsychiatric Rehabilitation services.

The service will provide a robust and effective community reintegration programme for those coming out of a hospital setting to ensure that they can achieve their most independent and positive lifestyle, taking full advantage of all their hard work to achieve a level of recovery that can allow them to explore living in the community.

At the same time residents at River View will continue to receive psychiatric, psychological, occupational therapy and support worker interventions and support, as required. The aim of this treatment is to complete brain injury rehabilitation in the community setting with emphasis on making the necessary specialist help available outside the hospital setting.

The service will consist of four apartments each of which has a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, kitchen/dining area and living room.
