Complex Neuro Disability and Brain Injury Services
At Victoria Care Centre, our Complex Neuro Disability Service is dedicated to supporting residents in achieving maximum independence and enhanced quality of life. We focus on improving or restoring abilities and assisting in compensating for disabilities through specialised therapy and nursing care.
Specialist Brain Injury Services
The Grove and Mews units at Victoria Care Centre offer tailored residential brain injury services in North London. We provide individualised care, complex neuro disability and rehabilitation programs for Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), Traumatic Brain Injuries, and Brain Tumours.
