We provide specialist rehabilitation for adults aged 18 and over. We can support people for up to 12 months after a stroke. How much support is provided, and for how long, will depend on each person's needs and goals.

We support people who live in South Nottingham County, including:

  • Rushcliffe

Our aim is to help people leave hospital as early as possible. We also support their ongoing recovery at home.

The Stroke Coffee Group offers a friendly place for people who have had a stroke to meet over a cup of coffee. Members can share experiences, make friends, and support each other in a relaxed and positive setting. From time to time, guest speakers from local support services or the Stroke Association may attend to talk about topics that interest the group. A member of the Community Stroke Team may also attend part of some meetings to answer questions. There is plenty of parking and accessible facilities on site. Anyone who needs support with personal care should attend with a carer, friend, or family member, as this support is not provided at the group.
