About

Cunningham House, run by CareTech Community Services in Northampton, offers 18 registered places for men with an acquired brain injury. Admission begins with an interdisciplinary team assessing each resident's medical, physical, cognitive, psychological, behavioural and communication needs, with the aim of helping people become as independent as possible.

Throughout a stay, the team draws up individual rehabilitation programmes and keeps detailed clinical progress records, with the goal of supporting a planned move on from the home. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Outstanding in its 2018 report overall, with Responsive and Well-led also graded Outstanding and Safe, Effective and Caring graded Good.
