Step-down from hospital following an acquired brain injury
Illustrative example. Written to show the type of work PlaceWell supports — not a record of a real person or placement.
Presenting needs
An adult recovering from an acquired brain injury requiring accessible accommodation, rehabilitation input, and support with daily living and cognition.
Challenges faced
Accessible housing stock was scarce in the preferred area, and the care model needed to flex as rehabilitation progressed.
Housing solution
A wheelchair-accessible property with a wet room and level access, sourced within the person's home borough to keep family links intact.
Care model
A rehabilitation-focused package with occupational therapy input and a planned review schedule to reduce hours as independence returned.
Outcomes
A timely discharge from hospital and a placement that adapted as needs changed, rather than requiring a second move.
