We have several specialist assessment and therapy rooms, a fully equipped physio gym and a large private garden to aid recovery.

Our rehabilitation models

The programme may include:

  • Individual clinical sessions
  • Educational and therapeutic sessions
  • Support for personal, social, and domestic skills
  • Guided leisure time
  • Behavioural management
  • Community access

The people we support are actively involved in reviewing their progress against agreed outcomes, and we promote the involvement of families in the rehabilitation process. Home leave is encouraged wherever possible.

Becoming more independent

Access to the wider community forms an integral part of the rehabilitation journey, and Daniel Yorath House’s proximity to shops and leisure facilities and easy access to Leeds and Wakefield make it ideally situated for community integration.
